    -Yankee Racers-
    "American Music"

    "...for American Music, Brewer and Jatcko strip back both the music and the overall approach, and while the album's name serves as a sleight of hand on the title track, it also defines the folk- and jazz-flecked approach to these acoustic songs.

    "Brewer, perhaps best known as the fiery lead guitarist for the blues/noir bar band Kentucky Knife Fight (to which Jatcko often contributes), shows his deft fingerpicking and dulcet banjo plucks here. On "What It Takes" the music takes the form of a circular folk ballad, laying a simple melodic bed for Brewer's searching lyrics and capable, if somewhat strained, vocals."

    "The twinkling waltz of "Stealing Romance," a Milk Carton Kids cover, borrows some of that duo's style with harmonized vocals and Brewer's pinpoint guitar solo."

lyrics

When we were young, no one knew
Exactly what would happen to you
Like a bend in the stream, just out of sight
Like a highway sign in the dead of the night

I can't plan it
You can't stand it, can you?
That I'm on the outside
And you're dreaming of a life anew

When we were young, they were old
You saw no sense in doing what you were told
Like a distant station on the radio
We went as far as we could go

I can't plan it
You can't stand it, can you?
That I'm on the outside
And you're dreaming of a life anew

Oh, it's not that I'm giving in
We'll fight thoughtless again
Oh, exiles no way to win
You don't want them to get by
You want them to live again

Can't plan it
I can't stand it, can you?
That I'm on the outside
And I'm dreaming of a life
And you're living that life
Dreaming of a life I knew

Formed in 2010, Brewer & Jatkco decided to explore new territory in their writing & recording methods. The resulting aftermath is their first combined effort, Duologue. This album features performances from STL's finest such as Jason Holler & Seth Porter. ... more
