Search - DownTown Mystic :: Standing Still

DownTown Mystic s new cd, Standing Still is the 3rd release from the enigmatic artist. Blending story telling songs with vintage guitars and analog recording, into a unique style that owes nods to Buffalo Springfield, The Byrds, Poco, The Beatles & Stones, DownTown Mystic s music is rooted in all the great traditions of American Rock 'n Roll. Robert Allen started DownTown Mystic as a solo project that morphed into a group, combining forces with a stellar cast of musicians (including Garry Tallent and Max Weinberg of Bruce Springsteen s E Street Band and Steve Holley of Paul McCartney and Wings). On playing roots/rocknroll, Robert says, there s a good deal of Country in the roots of Rock'n Roll. Going back to Elvis, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, the Everly Bros. and even the Skiffle craze in Britain that had a big influence on The Beatles, Country was in the feel that was a big part of that music. And it s a big part of what makes Standing Still DownTown Mystic s most fully realized album to date. It s the record that Robert has wanted to make for years, completing a cyle that started with DownTown Mystic s previous cds, Rock'n Roll 4 The Soul and Read The Signs .
