\u00a0Lauderdale Brings Moody Rock to Blind Pig Saturday, Jan. 28th<\/sup><\/h1>\n

from The Local Voice #148<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0A few years in the making, Moving On<\/em> is the album that the Muscle Shoals-based band Lauderdale<\/strong> has been wanting to record. Originally formed as a three-piece bar-room rock and roll band, Lauderdale has evolved into a five-piece outfit with the ability to make full, lush-sounding records.<\/p>\n

Niles Lee<\/strong> provides the songs for the band, but this is more of a \u201cband record\u201d than the self-titled release from 2007. Along with Lee, bassist Matt Green<\/strong>, and drummer Patrick McDonald<\/strong>,\u00a0 the addition of Ben Tanner<\/strong> on keys and Daniel Stoddard<\/strong> on pedal steel and lead guitar gave the band the ability to build upon the sound that was envisioned for the first album, but that they were not able to achieve.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lee\u2019s songs about relationships, both romantic and paternal, provide the backbone of the record. The opening track \u201cMoving On\u201d starts the album off with a song that is on the surface about love lost, a lost family member, and learning how to cope, but more deeply it\u2019s about dealing with the demons staring back at you in the mirror. \u201cThe Grant\u201d and \u201cBig Fish\u201d explore the relationship of a father and son and the stories that the dad passed down to him. \u201cAt Night\u201d is the bands\u2019 first real push into odd soundscapes and chaos, a departure from the norm for them.<\/p>\n

Just a glimpse into the communal nature of the Shoals area music will reveal that Lauderdale members also perform with Dylan LeBlanc, Doc Dailey and Magnolia Devil, The Bear, Belle Adair<\/strong>, and The Pollies<\/strong>. This explains why Lauderdale has kept low key for the last year. That downtime gave Lauderdale the time to make the best record they could.<\/p>\n

Lauderdale is part of the This Is American Music collective.\u00a0 Follow along at thisisamericanusic.com and thisisamericanmusic.tumblr.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026the perfect amalgam of rock, country and Muscle Shoals magic topped off by having a perfect vocal outlet in Niles Lee\u201d \u2013 Beat-Surrender.com<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cIf you\u2019re a Lucero fan, you\u2019re a Lauderdale fan. No, their sound isn\u2019t that similar, but their \u201cfeel\u201d and the overall level of \u201cawesome\u201d is.\u201d \u2013 Ninebullets.net<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cLauderdale\u2019s Niles Lee has one of those rare voices that adds an extra layer of heartache, loneliness, and pain to whatever he sings.\u201d\u00a0 \u2013 Common Folk Music<\/em><\/p>\n
