The Fearless Flyers are kind of a super-group featuring Joe Dart and Cory Wong from Vulfpeck, Mark Lettieri from Snarky Puppy and Nate Smith (Nate Smith, Chris Potter). Tailwinds is their first full length album following its two EPS, Fearless Flyers I and II…
Both on 1 CD,19 titles in all, recorded from 1980 thru 1983. From Little Walter's "Mellow Down Easy" to Honey's "Texas Twister".
See, what we have in mind is the strong suggestion you part with enough dead presidents to purchase this disc,and thereby partake ofone of the coolest consbos of roots rock,rhythm'n blues,roadhouse Swing and hellfire on wax.Call it what suits you — rockabilly,blues,Jazz whatever.Cause were talking transcendence of any one idiom here,the kind of music that tells your head what your feet already know.From the spring-loaded "Too Young To Have Fun" to the Jimmy Reed standard "Take Out Some Insurance" and the churning original "Texas Twister" this is one staggering platter,with the kind of fiery playing and singing that clears away the competition.This kind of heart and soul cant be taked.In this,their second longplayer,The Mighty Flyers move from Southern Cal phenoms to national breakout. They'll crowd your dancefloor all night long.
