Description
The original and eclectic Northern California rock of the Stragglyrs takes a turn toward the Wild West in Downhill Sunset, telling the story of a farmer and his mail-order bride.
The sound is a unique blend of different styles and musical instruments. On Downhill Sunset, the Stragglyrs have 4 members who swap lead vocal responsibilities and give the listener a wide range of styles. They are:
Jim Braly - Guitar, vocals
Bill Mishler - Drums, vocals
Ken Long - Guitar, vocals
Chris Purdum - Bass, vocals, piano, ocarina, trombone
The Stragglyrs started in 1999 as a pick-up band playing just for fun, writing their own songs about what they want to talk about. As fan Wade Thomas puts it: "The Stragglyrs are on their own trip, with their own statements, and exploring their own spaces along with their own family, friends and fans -- a real thowback to what music was about prior to the era of mass marketing of artificial stardom."
