Yee-haw, etc. Country music ain’t all rhinestones and facelifts, you know. A handful of bands still stick to country’s downhome roots, and so what the hell if they hail from South London? Four-piece outfit Grand Drive are based around the songwriting and singing of brothers Danny and Julian Wilson, and create a beautiful, subtly harmonious brand of country rock like the Band on a spliff bender, or Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young afore they all fell out. With a fourth album set for release, the lads have refined their gentle sound over the years, and now create near-perfect amble-rock to smile your stoned ass off to. (Doug Johnstone)
