about

Rootsy Canadian duo The Gravel-Aires become the latest members of the Aldora Britain Records family with their brand new album Westerly.

Westerly is a statement of rootsy intent from creative partnership Mark Branscombe and Michael Maloney. Across eleven fantastically crafted gems, The Gravel-Aires ignite an Americana flame, combining the best elements of the traditional with a technicolour contemporary flair. These soundscapes travel and roam over vast landscapes, painting vivid images and snapshots as they go. A truly exceptional addition to the alternative country canon from The Gravel-Aires.

For fans of Wilco, Uncle Tupelo, The Jayhawks, Drive-By Truckers, and Ryan Adams.
