Trout Steak Revival- Brighter Every Day
by Tim Wenger
In Colorado, there is no shortage of bluegrass music. Quite the opposite in fact, and from what we have seen cross the desk here at CMB the groups that stand out have two things in common- knockout vocal harmonies and the ability to showcase solid lead parts on instruments other than the banjo. Trout Steak Revival is the epitome of both of those traits. On the groups long awaited new record Brighter Every Day, a sharp-eared listener can pick out those and more- the traditional mountain-style bluegrass elements dominate the group’s sound but many of the songs including the title track have a strong mainstream pop influence as well. This gives the band some crossover appeal in the fashion of The Lumineers while not straying them too far from their mountain pickin’ roots. The record is upbeat from start to finish, the perfect end to a day on the slopes or to blast through the speakers at a backyard BBQ.
