Diamond Rugs is a super group formed by John McCauley that includes members of Deer Tick, The Black Lips, Los Lobos, Dead Confederate, and Six Finger Satellite. Their debut album was released April 24 via Partisan Records.
"Blue Mountains" is my favorite track off of the album. It's a fun, quick-paced folk rock jam that exemplifies the band's unique style.
NPR describes Diamond Rugs as "one those bands that wants you to think it prizes spontaneity and sloppy good fun more than careful song construction and technical polish." I couldn't agree more.
