GOOD STUFF: Tumbledown House - Tumbledown House

I grew up on the blues and country from my ma' long drives from Brisbane to Sydney on the inland route listening to Long John Baldry pretty much sums up 1-2 school holidays a year for a huge chunk of my life. Now a days my music tastes have calmed down a little from "one genre all the time and that is who I am" to "a bit of everything I like". The thing I most missed for a couple of years there was bluesy-jazzy rock.

Tumbledown house are two piece out of Montana who play some updated saloon jazz, and play it well. I've been watching out for their EP for a couple of years, and it seemed to slip under my radar. Starting from a small singer/songwriter competition, they have cut a great album. There's a few tracks on their Myspace if you want to get a picture of what they are about.

It's catchy, foot tappy old-america saloon music with a modern influence. Very much worth a listen, and great one for any long road trips you may be thinking of taking this summer. After the cut for a sample.

Also, you can buy their album at Digstation, it's cheap as chips and they deserve the support if you like it.
