The Galactic Cowboy Orchestra
Earth Lift
Review by Gary Hill
I have liked this band since the first time I heard them. Their blend of jazz, space music, prog and more is always compelling. So is their prominent use of violin. It really is a defining instrument in the sound of this band. This new album lives up to all my expectations. It’s another fine addition to the Galactic Cowboy Orchestra catalog. It’s mostly an instrumental set, but a few songs have vocals. It’s almost mostly original, but they do an interpretation of the old classic “When the Levee Breaks.”
