Middle Brother: Middle Brother
Partisan
Middle Brother is a “supergroup” featuring Taylor Goldsmith (Dawes), John McCauley (Deer Tick) and Mathew Vasquez (Delta Spirit). Each musician brings his songs to the group and the three alt-folk troubadours harmonize like a modern day CSN—only with a rock band-edge. Each member’s solo spots aim for the elusive “Y” to this configuration—or at least the Flying Burrito Brothers with Gram Parsons, as the title track ascertains. The constant mix and match of songwriters makes for a 50-minute,12-track album that has enough variety to fit in a cover of The Replacements obscurity “Portland” alongside tunes that vary from midnight weepers at the not-so-O.K. Corral to upbeat whiskey-fused rodeo tunes and jukejoint rave-ups that never lack energy. Quite exciting, really.
