VINYL FORMAT. On this third album by Early Day Miners,the band set out to make what they referred to as "a rock record", one with shorter, succinctly-structured songs,to be recorded mostly live at principle songwriter D Da an n B B r rt to on n's G Gr ro ot tt to o H Ho om me e S St t d di io o in Bloomington,Indiana.They did,in fact,accomplish each of their established criteria.It's interesting, though,how different folks interpret the term "rock". The album does indeed take Early Day Miners one step further in the rock direction.Burton's vocals are still hushed,yet ever more confident.Song structures are more concrete ?the sprawling soundscapes of past releases foregone for a more pop feel. Jefferson At Rest's lyrical imagery evokes a post-Civil War-era American South and,more specifically,New Orleans landscape.
