The
Waybacks came to our attention by way of a simple phone call from a
customer. That customer happened to be their lead guitarist, and after grooving
to his CD for several days, I knew this was a band worth sharing with Shoreline's
customers. Most of the musicians we highlight are guitarists, primarily
fingerstyle guitarists, with the occasional singer in the bunch. The Waybacks
add a totally different flavor to the mix, and it's one that we like.
To see all the Martins and mandolins flying around, you'd swear that The Waybacks are a dyed-in-the-wool bluegrass band. And certainly, they play their share of bluegrass music. But it is soaked in such a broad range of musical traditions, this band really does defy characterization. They bring Latin, Celtic, swing, jazz,, and all sorts of other influences to bear on a broad range of music that switches easily from covers of Blind Blake, John Fahey, Charlie Parker and The Jungle Book's King Louie, to a host of rousing originals. And all this music is presented in a package marked by superlative musicianship. Billboard Magazine writes, "These guys can play like bandits". If you take a listen to even a few of the MP3s below, I think you'll agree--their obvious joy in making music is infectious. As with many of the artists we highlight here, you may buy music directly from the band, or you can preview and download the music from the iTunes Music Store.
