Handasyd Williams and the Brothers Primitive – Ironsight

Ironsight is the first album from Handasyd Williams featuring his alternative country band, The Brothers Primitive. Although they’re listed as alt-country with an Americana feel, there’s a distinctive rock undercurrent present throughout the 12 tracks.

Heartfelt ballads and politically charged lyrics are enhanced by the rough-edged, dark drawl of Williams’s voice; an instrument in itself that leads the mandolin, banjo and harmonica to create a cohesive, but varied album that’s easy on the ears.

Listeners will enjoy this collaborative debut from a talented bunch of Aussie musicians. Even in downtempo mode, Ironsight has a rocking soul. (LL)
