ABOUT THIS ALBUM


Album Notes
Acoustic garage rock. Camel City Drivers are a trio hailing from Winston-Salem, North Carolina who play a pared-down mix of blues and alt-country. Ten Ways in Winter, their second CD release, showcases a broad swath of musical influences ranging from Uncle Tupelo to Morphine. The songs reflect the band's Southern roots, as portraits of roguish local characters give way to notes of abandonment and heartbreak.

The band's lineup is composed of singer and guitarist Amos Barclay, lead guitarist Jacob Chapman, and singer and mandolin player Ashley Knight. The lonesome harmonies of Knight and Barclay ride alongside Chapman's bluesy guitar work, weaving a surprisingly layered sound for a band composed of only three musicians.

The music of Camel City Drivers is also featured prominently in the upcoming film Barbecue is a Noun, a documentary about barbecue in the Carolinas.

great range of styles, accomplished musicians, good listening
This second CD shows true growth in range and depth. It's at times easy smiling listening, at times thoughtful. The band does not try to flash and strut, but it does exhibit fine musicianship.

Only took three plays to really love "Ten Ways"
The debut disc's decidedly polished instrumental bent gives way to raw intelligence and razor sharp insight here with songs that honestly take you far beyond the seemingly bare bones sound and feel of the first play. A musical jewel, you can't be lazy here - this cd asks a bit more of you... happily, you will be richly rewarded. "Town Man" is a wonderfully cynical rocker that challenges the everyman in most of us. "Come On Over" will draw you in and make you a friend. The only cover... Lou Reed's "Venus in Furs"... is a blast... and might as well be a new cut altogether. Better yet, it rests so naturally and comfortably in the middle this great collection that one concludes that Lou himself would be proud... if not a bit jealous. The last two cuts on the disc, "The Ferry" and "Balsam Ridge" will pull at you...

These are three musicians who clearly have range and intellect... there isn't a "gimme" on this disc. Beautifully haunting harmonies underpinned by impeccably well woven guitar and harmonica. Three plays and you'll love Ten Ways... and you'll feel like you're a part of this band.

Damn those boys are fine!!!
Damn these boys are fine players!!! First time I saw these guys laying down their viscous licks was when I had somehow gotten lost in rural southern Chapel Hill and stumbled into the likes of a golfball shaped space station. Now I'll admit that I was more scared than scared about approaching that space station, but I kept getting lured closer and closer by these continuous sweet soulful sounds that were emanating from inside the "pod", or whatever the hell it was. Once I mustered enough courage to go in and take a peek, I saw and heard one of the most exalted trios that acoustic music has ever seen. Each of the Camel City Drivers on their own were boggling my mind with their excellent abilities, but together they formed something of a transcendent, no, divine quality. That's not something you can learn in the schools. Now I couldn't figure out if these guys were the entertainment for the extra-terrestrial force that may have governed that space station or if their tunes were actually generating the power for that Epcot shaped galactic traveldome. The music was so tight and resonant that I suppose they could have been fulfilling both duties. To make a long story short, I ended up moving into that space station for a year because of the sounds I heard that night coming from the Camel City Drivers. That's saying a lot about these guys and their music because I am generally intimidated by anything of an interplanetary nature. BUY THIS CD!!!!

Buy two of these, because one will never leave your car CD player.
Reviews can be exercises in showing off word-play, double talk and hideous pap psychology. Like the CCDs' record, this one does exactly what is says on the tin - bull free.
This is an thumping, lilting, moving, funny, stomping bundle of driven acoustic songs in which strings are bent, guitar bodies whacked, necks slid and audiences delighted. Brilliant Southern-tinged songs; the real talent here is their abilty to mix outstanding playing with what still seems a raw and simple sound, despite the layers that are really there. Roll the window down and head south at full volume.
