Werewolf [CD]

The Brook & the Bluff get back to their rock & roll roots with Werewolf. Heavily inspired by the band's live show, it's a transformative album that finds the road warriors turning up their amplifiers, speeding up their tempos, and howling at the moon in four-part harmony. The result is both energizing and electrifying - a record fueled by the sharp songwriting and stacked vocal arrangements that have already earned the band more than 200 million streams, but shot through with the supercharged sonics of their concerts, too. After years of heavy touring, The Brook & the Bluff took a break from the road and wrote Werewolf at home in Nashville. Outside of their rehearsal space, regular life continued to unfold. One band member prepared for his wedding. Another made his way through a divorce. For several hours every weekday day, though, the four friends shut out the world and focused on nothing but music, channeling the southern-fried sounds of Creedence Clearwater Revival, Tom Petty, Eagles, Little Feat, and other classic rock staples into new songs full of melody, muscle, and self-introspection. Recorded during a series of live-in-the-studio performances, Werewolf is the sound of a reinvigorated rock & roll band fueled by rediscovery, amplification, and a decade's worth of brotherhood.
