2004 revelation with a really good first album, Tishamingo is back with Wear N' Tear. This band from Florida (Tallahassee) gives us a great quality music, with a Southern Rock and Blues-Country jazz mix. They are really good and seem to be quite a jam band, with guitar player Jess Franklin (Warren Haynes disciple) and Cameron Williams (from Black Creed Band). This new album is a confirmation that Tishamingo is the new Southern Music revelation, looking sometimes like Savoy Truffle, with vocals and slide guitar (Smoked Mullett). Lynyrd Skynyrd fans will enjoy a great "Poison Whiskey" cover that shows how Tishamingo can have many influences. There is a video bonus on this cd too, with the band in the recording studio. Great !!

I was afraid, when we received this new cd at the RTJ office, because the name of this band didn't inspired me a lot. I just put the record on and, since the beginning, it was a good surprise to me. This music is for real blues-country-jazz die-hard fans, but at a great level of quality, as their influences are Widespread Panic, Derek Trucks. They are also close to Savoy Truffle, especially with the singer's voice ! Finally, it is a beautiful cd, with many different feelings and always nice guitar parts. Just try it !
