I want to say something right up front with this review and that’s I
wish I had reviewed this sooner. Western Centuries is an up and coming
roots rock country group that a lot more people need to be familiar
with. The group is composed of Cahalen Morrison, Jim Miller, Ethan
Lawton, Rusty Blake and Dan Lowinger. Each of them come from uniquely
different backgrounds and they mix them together to create quite the
compelling sound. The three lead vocalists of the group in particular
really bring something different to the table, as Miller was the
co-founder of Donna the Buffalo, Morrison has a country background and
Lawton is a punk rock songwriter. On paper this doesn’t sound like it’s
that harmonious, but trusts me once you hear this group on their new
album Weight of the World, it sounds absolutely brilliant.
...
From the album cover to each and every song throughout, Weight of the World
is a true throwback album. It’s an album that harkens you back to the
golden days of country and roots music from decades before. The rich
vocals and instrumentation blend together seamlessly. This album hooked
me in from the first listen and made me wish I had reviewed it sooner.
It’s something that I think any fan of country and roots music can come
to appreciate. Western Centuries is one of the most talented groups I’ve
come across in country music this year and if you don’t know them yet,
you need to change that by listening to Weight of the World.
