Scud Mountain Boys – The Early Year

The Early Year double CD package comprises Scud Mountain Boys’ first two albums: Pine Box and Dance The Night Away.

“The Early Year reveals how the Scuds slow-and-quiet minimalism has developed since their inauspicious beginnings around lap steel player Bruce Tull’s kitchen table four years ago. Pine Box is particularly hushed and deliberate, casting a spell over the room like a warm glow from the dying embers of a cold winter nights fire in the hearth. 

The nicest touch is a cover of Where’s The Playground Susie?, a lesser-known Glen Campbell hit from the Jimmy Webb catalog than the more obvious Wichita Lineman included on Pine Box, and rendered with a reverent grace that underscores just how effectively the Scuds can bring out the essence of a beautiful melody.” – No Depression
