Red Pine Timber Company release album
Formed in the summer of 2009, Red Pine Timber Co. originally set out as a ‘loose’ collective of musicians led by former Southpaw Singer/Songwriter and Guitarist Gavin Munro.
After a successful stream of Scottish dates, Red Pine Timber Co. has settled into a more fixed line-up, consisting of: Gavin J.D. Munro (Vocals and Guitar), Dave Shaw (Upright and Electric Bass), Mikey Maclennan (Drums) Dave MacFarlane (Fiddle), Katie Whittaker (Vocals),Felix Milan (Saxaphone), Chris Marshall (Trombone, Harmonica and Vocals) and Stewart Methven (Guitar, Mandolin, Lap and Pedal Steel).
Red Pine Timber Companyhave just released their stunning debut album entitled DIFFERENT LONESOME.
The band has plied its trade for the last 4 years throughout the highlands and islands of Scotland with a fluid line up honing and sharpening their live performance and building a strong fan base. Red Pine Timber Company have now evolved in to a core 8 piece band of buskers, seasoned pros and novices; indiscriminate of age, gender or nationality. They play a blend of Country Americana with a Celtic twist which has been described as bourbon matured in whiskey barrels, subverting the absurdity of a Scottish band playing American music, by meaning it.
The band’s name was inspired by Munro's teenage band "The Last Red Pine Trees" and his current employment as a truck driving lumberjack delivering fire wood.
The songs on the album are a mixture of murder ballads, songs of betrayal and loss, gospel songs and songs about Spanish brothels. The album covers the whole gamut of Saturday night sinning and Sunday morning salvation.
