Listen to The Wind Will Change Again
The esteemed duo of Marybeth Zamer and Mike T. Lewis, as The Twangtown Paramours they pen their first folk album in 12 years, where Jim Vancleve, Rick Lonow, Rave Tesar, Ed Alstrom and Jeff Taylor join for the well thought out listen.
“Sincerely Yours No More” starts the record with Zamer’s gorgeous voice alongside Vancleve’s stirring violin for the bluegrass spirit, and “A Room In Bordeaux” follows with a jazzy mood, where Lonow’s agile drums and Tayor’s mesmerizing accordion make an impression.
Further along, the frisky “That Thing You Do” puts a fun spin on the Adam Schlesinger tune with Zamer’s playful vocals front and center, and “Showin’ Off For Their Girlfriends” places Lewis on vocals amid the bouncy and upbeat demeanor.
Close to the end, “Tonight I Think I’m Gonna Go Downtown” is a lovely and dreamy moment of one guitar and two voices, and the title track exits with Alstrom’s lively keys suiting the festive climate that finishes on a very strong note.
A very diverse outing, the bulk of the songs are acoustic, as the husband and wife duo continue to impress us with their superb originals and creative covers.
