Album Of The Day: What A Time To Be Alive by The Lone Bellow

Album Art of The Lone Bellow's What A Time To Be Alive album - On a golden white background with a slightly grainy texture, the center quarter is a collage of photos. Crossing the middle of the collage is a photo of a town main street with classic sedans, so it must be from a good 50-ish years ago. On each side, there's a picture of a large, orange flower. Below, there's a red color, and above a green color. Above the green color is a photo of white sunflowers, and then above that a blue color with a round, golden circle in the top right. In front of this collage in the red color is photos of the three members of this band, sitting separately in chairs. The band name is in the blank space on the left side vertically, and the album title is printed in bold, black text on the bottom right.

Released just over a month ago, this is the sixth album from this folk rock, alt-country band. Originally from New York City and now based out of Nashville, this band continues to keep their sound a bit different than your normal Nashville country through their rock and folk influences. This is an excellent collection of new songs, and I especially liked the rollickin' opening song, "After The Rain". "I Did It For Love" and a cover of "Islands In The Stream" also feature their excellent harmonies of this three-piece group. Some of their earlier albums were a bit sleepy in my opinion, and songs like "Say" on this album are the quieter songs, but I like these too. The album is all about friendship and love, and I'm glad to hear the band continues to make solid music.
