& The Low Swinging Chariots
Alright, Here We Go
Kyle Reid & the Low Swinging Chariots bring us 8 wonderful and satisfying songs with "Alright, Here We Go." Common among the songs is, of course, a big band feel led with clear and compelling vocals. Combined skillfully and dare I say therapeutically among many songs (for example, the opening 'Shot of Whiskey' and no. 3, 'Pride and Swing') are thrillingly upbeat arrangements with somber and otherwise serious topics. I predict if you're reading this, you'll enjoy all the tracks, but may find yourself playing several over and over. Easy favorites are the punny 'Eileen' (a wistful ballad set to a series of satisfying solos showcasing sweet swinging jazz, 'Shot of Whiskey', and the beautifully opening 'Pride and Swing.' An instrumental, 'A Minor Affair' closes out the set a bit slower and adorned with some dissonant melodies.
