Gyasi takes an unexpected turn with his new album, “Songs From The Holler.” While working on his upcoming studio rock record, he sets aside his signature high-voltage rock n’ roll and embraces the humble sounds of home. Born and raised in the rugged hills of a West Virginia holler, Gyasi returns to his roots and the solitary mountains of his youth, celebrating the music he first encountered as a child by recording a vibrant folk-blues album. Nearly captured in the wild with just two microphones, the songs on “Songs From The Holler” feel authentic and heartfelt. The album blends familiar classics and forgotten gems with four original tracks, highlighting Gyasi’s tasteful guitar work and his genuine connection to this music. “Songs From The Holler” is an artful oddity whose sounds will carry you back to a world long past.
Gyasi inhabits deep folk-blues on “Man From the Mountain,” his glam-era vocal phrasing beautifully set against an understated performance with the worn-in character and timeless soul of something far older than its recording. The song’s origins are personal, inspired by his Appalachian roots and the influence of his mentor, David Blanchard. – Lauren Leadingham / AMERICAN BLUES SCENE
