DESCRIPTION:
No More Chains by The Coal Porters from their CD Durango.

Durango has been such a success that after knockin’ ’em dead at SxSW, Americana & the Folk Alliance festivals in the USA The Coal Porters are in the best shape of their career(s). Durango is the latest, fourth and best “alt-bluegrass” album by The Coal Porters.

Produced by the amazing Ed Stasium (Ramones, Smithereens, Jeff Healey Band, Belinda Carlisle, etc., etc.) the album features two key guest appearances: the first being Tim O’Brien who plays a wild mandolin solo on Roadkill Breakdown and the second being Peter Rowan who duets with Miss Frey on his own song Moonlight Midnight. This is the sound of a bluegrass Clash, of a Bill Monroe for the 21st century, of a folk Goddess, two ex-punks, an Americana founder and …errr…a London lawyer making the best music of not just their careers but their lives. Read what the critics have already said about Durango:

“Griffin’s breakneck bluegrass band has made the album of their career” - Q magazine

“a feast of highly crafted ensemble playing with the odd virtuoso turn” - Uncut

“the audio equivalent of a feel-good movie” - Mojo

“a wonderful achievement by a band that is going from strength to strength” - Country Music People
