about

The Moaners were already rockin' the messed-up blues with impressive results on their debut album, 2005's Dark Snack, but they dig deeper into the heart of their music on their sophomore release, 2007's Blackwing Yalobusha, and it's one wild and moody ride. Blackwing Yalobusha was recorded at the Mississippi studio that used to be the Money Shot, where much of the Fat Possum Records roster did their best work, and the ghosts in the room seem to have gotten into Melissa Swingle's guitar; she feeds plenty of primal slide work and gutsy chordings through her amp, and while she's hardly a virtuoso, she generates a truly commanding racket that conjures up an impressive, soulful power. Laura King's drumming is perfectly simpatico, filling up the spaces and pushing the tunes forward without wasted force, and in Blackwing Yalobusha's finest moments, you're never conscious that there are only two musicians playing these songs.
