LESLIE STEVENS AND THE BADGERS - ROOMFUL OF SMOKE (LP)

Leslie Stevens And The Badgers Roomful Of Smoke on Vinyl LP

Formed in the summer of 2006 by songwriter Leslie Stevens, the Los Angeles band, Leslie and The Badgers, plays a brand of bourgeois country in the Americana tradition. Their new 13-song LP, Roomful of Smoke shuffles and swaggers to the march of a different drum. It’s a glittering showcase for Leslie’s pitch-perfect, honeyed croon, a lighter-than-air twang that channels Emmylou, Dolly and Neko Case in the same understated breath. Produced by the legendary David Bianco (Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Teenage Fanclub), Roomful of Smoke merges Leslie’s sultry vocals and poignant lyrics with the unhurried polish of the Badgers, a crack team of musicians with studio chops and record collections to match, a versatile set of musicians equally at home with Western Swing, Texas two-step and dialed-down LA folk rock.
