Redleg Husky are a folk band from North Carolina. They recently released their debut full-length album, Carolina. The album is an alt-country record, with strong influences from traditional American folk and Appalachian music. Some tracks have a rhythm and a foot-stomping drive, while others are more reserved and contemplative. Opener ‘Carolina Heart’ is a perky country song which bops along at a nice pace, and is followed with a change of pace in ‘Autumn Heart’, a John Statz-esque folk ballad.
The band has three members, Tim McWilliams, Misa Giroux and David Funderburk, share both the songwriting and vocal responsibilities, which creates a nice balance between male and female vocals.. A multitude of instruments are also used including acoustic guitars, banjos, mandolin, organ and musical saw.
Carolina serves as an artistic homage to the region, the product of the artistic efforts of three talented individuals. If you’re into folk/alt-country music then I suggest you check this out.
You can buy Carolina now via the Redleg Husky online store, or their Bandcamp page.
