Along For The Ride, the new full-length record from SunDown47, stands proudly at the intersection of Big Sky Americana and Heartland Rock. Deeply soulful and masterfully executed, the record unfurls with an in-the-pocket ease that can only be earned through worn frets and miles on the odometer. It had been quite a while since Steve Drymalski spent his days cruising the country in beat up van with his band, Men Among Thieves. Sometimes, though, the" life" just isn’t done with you (regardless of your feelings about such things.) This is one of those stories… one that starts with a late-night listening session, and ends (?) with a record that stands ready to take its place in the canon of classic American Rock & Roll. An outflow of musical vision merged with time and experience, Along For The Ride reflects an astounding rock n roll history. Yet, at its heart, what truly make this record special is the way in which it captures the essence of a moment in song. “As a kid I spent so many hours on my bedroom floor listening to records with an album cover in my hands. My imagination would take me to wild places…” tells Drymalski. “Who were these amazing people who made this, and how did they do it? Along For The Ride was me finally realizing my imagination! If this record makes anyone feel those same things than I achieved what I set out to do.” Time, as always, will tell… but the odds are certainly in his favor.
