On a Brown Horse: Cowboys from the vast steppes of East England

The musicians of Brown Horse started out as a folk quartet, but later they brought in a drummer, and on the new album "Reservoir" the sextet now sounds soulful and at the same time powerful like a real US country rock band like Wallflowers or Counting Crows. The six-piece mix guitar-driven 90s alternative rock with the folk and country sounds of the 70s.

Amazing: The Brown Horse's home pastures are not in the USA, but in Norwich in East England. From here, singer Patrick Turner and his colleagues ride in the footsteps of Turin Brakes, sometimes elegiacally as in "Stealing Horses", sometimes energetically as in "Bloodstain" into the steppes of disappointed feelings, forgotten lovers and lost friends.

If you close your eyes, you can see the dust of the deserts of Utah and Arizona, Matchbox 20 standing in the background and Jack Johnson singing along. Great little band. Really great music.
