For fans of the real thing, the wait is over. The X-Angels are back.
After several years of limited activity, Portland’s premier purveyors of roots-rock soul return with a new CD and renewed commitment to live performance.
To the band’s devoted followers, this is good news indeed. For the uninitiated, it’s the chance to experience one of the Northwest’s best rock n’ roll bands.
When they arrived on the Portland scene in the early 1990’s, the Angels (then known as the Cowboy Angels) immediately moved to the front ranks of the roots-rock/alt country movement that was taking hold in the city.
Leader and chief songwriter Tom McGriff had just fled the LA rat race; the debut CD, appropriately titled “Escape from LA”, caught the attention of both critics and fans, who praised the band’s smart songwriting, passionate performances and superior musicianship.
The Angels also built a reputation as one of the best live acts in the region, with a sound that echoed influences ranging from the Byrds and Bob Dylan to Brill Building pop and classic British pub-rock.
Over the next few years, the band released three more critically acclaimed Cds: “X-Blonde” (1996), “Divine River” (1999), and “Four Bridges” (2001); they also played hundreds of live shows and built a devoted fan base.
The record, titled “Mississippi Sessions”, features 10 new songs by Tom McGriff. It also marks the reunion of the original X-Angels line-up of McGriff on rhythm guitar and vocals, Steve James Wright on various guitars, mandolin, etc., bassist Rich Gooch, and drummer Tom Royer; the band is also joined by Dave Fleshner on Hammond B-3.
