Sur La Route de Memphis (Translated from French)

An album that is worth trying. The Esquela group , based in New York since 2009 includes five musicians who have gravitated to the rock scene in recent decades in formations that can be described as high (Georgia Satellites, etc.). Musicians who were joined by singer Rebecca Frame who is exceptionally talented. Indeed, it is the voice that dominates this album, a solid voice and well developed on all of the songs, it is supported by guitarist Brian Shafer which makes it also a great work, but talkative electric guitar be noisy or intrusive the rest of the accompaniment is perfectly in place. There a little banjo or mandolin. Important element, the sound is excellent – an attractive result from first to last song. How would you describe the music Esquela ? Seems it is generally more rock with references that can be called or sixties roots of Americana. Of the 10 songs available, 9 are original songs, the only cell recovery is the classic “Tossin and Turnin” especially sent. Then there are so many rock songs as “My friend” the coolest rock with “No issues ” pop with ” Too far left” and even the country with male voice on “Phone Home” This second album of Esquela is a success mainly due to the powerful voice of Rebecca Frame.
