“Don’t worry about it, Dante. Just keep it rollin’”. Just a little studio chatter, but that’s how "Kick Up The Dust" starts, and it lets you know how Blood Meridian works. And then the acoustic guitar and simple piano line kicks, the bass and drums propelling things right out of the usual Americana territory. Next a wild phasing electric guitar and by the time the banjo part kicks in the wheels are coming off and the hair on your arms is standing up. Then, just like that, it’s over. But these guys are onto something. Maybe it ain’t the Next Big Thing, but it’s something.
