The Get-Rites Get Write-Ups

Eclectone's latest -- Tin Roof Sky by The Get-Rites -- is a co-release with Magnolia Recording Co.

The album hit No. 21 this month on the Americana Charts in Europe. Here's what people are saying:

"Rich music mined from the depths of Americana. Feldmann’s probing lyrics and yearning growl will echo in your soul and lift you up." - Ben Kieffer, Iowa Public Radio

"There's a certain Midwestern feel on The Get-Rites album,Tin Roof Sky, intended as it may be, that captures the listener with a feeling of comfort and reflectiveness." - Phantom Tollbooth CD Review, Terry Roland

"It's a wonderful CD...Good songs, production too....Very Inspired...Very personal." - Jacques Spiry, reviewer/promoter, France

"A very excellent and inspirational album." - Eddie Russell, Country Eastern/Outlaw For Peace Radio Show

"A fantastic roots/country-rock album with the influences of spiritual music and a touch of the great names such as The Byrds,Poco and even Pearl Jam." - Sjaak Sekeris, A shake of Music, The Netherlands

"Frontman Tom Feldmann's gritty ballads are dramatically spiked with desperate spirituality, and he found an ace pedal-steel player in Jed Germond." - Chris Riemenschneider, Star Tribune, Minneapolis/St. Paul

"A Minneapolis trio who write some of the most authentic, moving americana gospel I’ve ever heard. Group leader Tom Feldman has a heart for his savior, and the group’s musicianship would make both Johnny Cash and John Lee Hooker proud." - Greg Swan, Perfect Porridge

"Tin Roof Sky is a journey through the barren West, where tumbleweeds roll and a caravan of preachers and sideshow musicians are saving souls." - Adam Hammer, St. Cloud Times, MN
