So considering that I haven't stopped listening to them for over a month, it is high time that write a post about The Red River.
At first listen Grassblades seems like just some other folk album. The melodies are derived from standards like Go tell it on the Mountain. While the songs are derived from existing songs, they are by no means anywhere as shallow as the songs that they have been influenced by. The sheer strength of the lyrics exhibited in Something Good is almost impossible to express in writing. The whole album speaks to anybody. It expresses a plethora of moods: elation, depression, and praise. The more you listen to Grassblades, the more you like it. So go listen.
