Belle Adair- "Tuscumbia"
Belle Adair- "Tuscumbia"
Tuscumbia, Belle Adair’s sophomore Single Lock release, was recorded at historic FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals and mixed at Wilco's Loft in Chicago, IL. It was produced/engineered by Tom Schick (Wilco, Ryan Adams, Real Estate).
“...here in Alabama, there are bands like Belle Adair doing this kind of dreamy sound that has a connection to roots music but isn’t directly derivative...It fits in really nicely with the new South sound.” — NPR Music
"“The sweetness of Matt Green’s voice carries echoes of Jeff Tweedy. The band, too, are like Wilco when the roots were still showing, with flashes of The Byrds and a note of country sadness.” -- Uncut
“They hail from Muscle Shoals but in many ways Belle Adair recalls another famous band from the South: R.E.M.-- Austin Chronicle
