ROB SEZ:

Midlake's most recent LP:
For the Sake of Bethel Woods

 I'm late to the party with Midlake. But now that I've heard 'em, I can't quit 'em. Imagine if Richard Thompson-era Fairport Convention* and The Band had a baby, and that baby boy (band) was born in Texas. The musical product of such a union would probably sound something like Midlake: melodic folk-rock with a modestly British sensibility, nature-focused song lyrics, and great musicianship. Why the heck didn't I hear about 'em earlier? I had a tough time finding an ROIO to share with you. But once I stumbled upon Lee Hart's superb recording of this home state show in 2010 — in front of an adoring crowd, I didn't have to look any further. If you have any other Midlake recordings of similar quality to share, please get in touch.

*Not Fairport Convention, you say? OK, try Fotheringay or Pentangle.
