Our Take

Eric Brace & Karl Straub's latest album, "Hangtown Dancehall", is a foot-stomping, toe-tapping romp through the wild west of Americana music. Brace and Straub bring their expertly honed skills to the table, crafting a collection of songs that are both timeless and fresh.

From the rollicking opener "Hangtown Boys" to the hauntingly beautiful "Carolina", the duo showcases their versatility and musicianship on every track. Their harmonies are tight, their instrumentation is top-notch, and their songwriting is as sharp as a cowboy's spurs.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Ghost of Elam", a spooky, atmospheric number that wouldn't sound out of place in a Quentin Tarantino film. Brace and Straub paint a vivid picture with their lyrics, drawing the listener into a world of outlaws, gunfights, and dusty saloons.

But it's not all doom and gloom on "Hangtown Dancehall". Tracks like "Sunny Skies" and "Midnight Whiskey" bring a sense of joy and celebration to the album, with infectious hooks and sing-along choruses that will have you tapping your feet and raising a glass.

Overall, "Hangtown Dancehall" is a must-listen for fans of Americana music. Eric Brace & Karl Straub have crafted a gem of an album that pays homage to the past while looking towards the future. So put on your cowboy boots, grab a bottle of whiskey, and get ready to dance the night away in Hangtown. Trust us, you won't regret it.
