Press Release
Body = Indiana guitarist/songwriter Rand Reynolds has created a
touching serious substantial work with his first cd called Modern
Hillbilly, revealing a man who's lived a lot in his time. He pounds
out original tunes on an old Martin guitar and makes it ring --
Big Time. Rooted in traditional country and
bluegrass, he's managed to make acoustic music sound electric. It's
power acoustic, raw and edgy. Reynolds relies on guitar-heavy hardcore
progressive country roots to charge his gritty contemporary themes
with a respectful sense of tradition. Lost
love, obsession, jealousy, doubt ... it's all here in Modern Hillbilly.
It's enough to make a Grand Ole Opry fan buy another ticket and
stay for the second show. Reynolds is leading the pack of recent
neo-traditionalists who have found their audience on the Internet
by recording in their garages, basements and toolsheds on pc's and
digital recorders. Plain and simple: This cd is just real good music,
for real good people. If Hank woulda had a chance, he woulda done
it this a-way. Released by RescueDisk recordings@2005 in upstate
New York; available on eFolkmusic.com.
