The Debra Haul - Born on Flag Day

 



2023 Charity Shop Purchases #28 Deer Tick - Born on Flag Day

This week's Americana offering from the Debra Haul comes courtesy of Deer Tick with their 2009 second album Born on Flag Day released on Partisan in the US and Fargo in Europe.

I was familiar with the band having bought their 4th album Divine Providence from 2011 on the back of their song Main Street featuring on an Uncut compilation

Born on Flag Day was critically acclaimed with Rolling Stone proclaiming it as the Country-Rock breakthrough of the year. They hail from Providence,Rhode Island with John Joseph McCauley III being the lead vocalist and songwriter and the only ever present from the bands inception in 2004 to date

I don't think it is as strong as Divine Providence but it is  still a solid slab of Americana

Deer Tick - Easy

Along with a couple of pals I am off to Broughty Ferry today for a couple of nights to catch up with George who is home for a week or so.It should be fun.
