The High Hawks, an all-star cast of musical friends, release their acclaimed sophomore album, Mother Nature's Show, today on LoHi Records. The six-piece features Vince Herman (Leftover Salmon), Tim Carbone (Railroad Earth), Chad Staehly (Great American Taxi), Adam Greuel (Horseshoes & Hand Grenades), Brian Adams (DeadPhish Orchestra), and Will Trask (Great American Taxi), who all bring decades of recording and touring history to the project. Their single, "Somewhere South," is currently in the Americana Radio single chart's Top 20; you can watch the band's snowbird video HERE.
Mother Nature's Show was recorded during a snowy January at Minnesota's famed Pachyderm Studios. The song sequence — a musical travelogue — takes the listener down Highway 61, the oft-called “Blues Highway” immortalized by Bob Dylan, that follows the Mississippi River from Minnesota to New Orleans, passing through St. Louis, Memphis and the Mississippi delta. The songs on Mother Nature's show represent a variety of musical stylings — from Southern, country and psychedelic rock to honky-tonk and even a ballad and a waltz — with The High Hawks’ sonic cohesiveness claiming each style as their own.
