It’s never easy reviewing a friend’s album.

Lucky for us, Jim Knable & The Randy Bandits have created Blue Reunion, a new LP that takes you back to the days of sunny day drinking sessions, stripped-down campfire sing-alongs and last call blues.

The songs on Blue Reunion are soulful, stripped-down and nimble, and would fit nicely within Spotify’s Mellow Classics compilation, which features the likes of Jim Croce, Loggins & Messina, Warren Zevon, and George Harrison.

Whether playing piano-driven honkey tonk, psychedelic blues, or accordion-backed shanties, this band isn’t short of range or surprises.

If you like James Taylor, Cat Stevens, or The Zombies, give Jim Knable & The Randy Bandits a listen.

Their music is familiar, but new; mellow, but lively.
