Music

Dose is a double-disc journey through the heart of Americana and roots music, accessorized with DJ scratches, gospel choirs and bluesy instrumentation. The first disc features revved-up, fully electric versions of 10 songs. Disc two includes intimate, acoustic renditions of the same tracks.

The fact that Red Rooster has managed to capture the dichotomy of modern American roots music using just the same ten songs is nothing short of astounding.

           

Brooklyn is where the album came together -on Pacific Street, in that apartment, doors and windows closed, cigarettes burning, day and night, listening, recording, talking about it, doing it again. This album was made at home. And if they lived somewhere quieter, it probably would have been on made the porch. Think of Porch Songs as Red Rooster's slow-cooked casserole, brought to the pot luck dinner of Americana music.

"...you guys have done a good f^*&ing record and I intend to play more of it. "

Released in 2002, Porch Songs is Red Rooster's debut album. Recorded and mixed in an apartment in Brooklyn it captures the origins of the band and the crucible in which the sound of the band was born.
