Big Tell
by Tim Wenger
Big Tell is a supergroup, of sorts. With Quentin Young and Stacey Liles of Broke Bridge holding it down, and a live set that has showcased Max Barcelow of Fierce Bad Rabbit and Cody Russell of The Drunken Hearts, the band throws down some dark, deep, and thick-skinned bluegrass that might not sit well with the idealistic, well-funded hippie hula-hooping in Aspen. The debut EP is self-dubbed as “Amerecono,” and it is as straight forward and honest as any mountain music we’ve heard ‘round these big city parts.
The strongest song is “Anarchy,” a dancing tune with lyrics you’d think came from the mouth of an introspective punk rocker and exemplifies the band’s relentless energy. The album never goes easy on listener, a constant stream of fun, danceable tunes that each set their own mood- for better or for worse.
