{"product_id":"melodyland","title":"Melodyland","description":"Personnel: Charles Walston (vocals, guitar, harmonica); Patrick Ronk (vocals, drums); Henry Burns, Page Waldrop (guitar); David Michaelson, Ed Bradley (drums).\u003cbr\u003eRecording information: Channel One Studio Atlanta, GA; Furious Studio Atlanta, GA; Not Bad For Eight Track Shack A.\u003cbr\u003ePhotographers: Russell Lee ; Bill Berry .\u003cbr\u003eThe debut album from this Georgia-born quintet manages to capture both the essence and spirit of classic country and the soulful rawness of early rock \u0026amp; roll. Throughout the 11-song set, fun tunes like the catchy Western swing\/rockabilly opener \"Faking It\" are mixed with sad ballads, such as the second song, \"Tokens of Affliction.\" The latter begins with the lonesome wail of a harmonica, and builds with the haunting and mournful cry of Henry Bruns' superb pedal steel guitar. When Charles Walston opens his mouth, it's a classic and earnest country delivery, reminiscent of Gram Parsons. Walston is a remarkable songwriting talent, able to indulge in wordplay without sounding trite, and to supply melodies that sound instantly familiar, while remaining highly original. ~ Jack Leaver","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50926831403295,"sku":"011671801421","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/019701836427f77eb12ba0bbb618ab10.jpg?v=1778003893","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/melodyland","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
