From Switchback’s 12th album Ghosts of the River Folk

The indie Folk-Pop band Switchback, out of Chicago, has a brand new album coming out in January – Ghosts of the River Folk.

Ghosts of the River Folk is the latest release from Switchback, the award winning songwriting duo of Brian FitzGerald and Marty McCormack. Switchback is joined by former Brian Wilson drummer Jim Hines, Ellis Clark on keyboards, fiddler Paul Russell, and Grammy award winning producer Lloyd Maines on Papoose Guitar. Also contributing to this new project are acclaimed accordionist John Williams, who wrote the music for the DreamWorks feature motion picture Road To Perdition, Brianne Bolin on squeeze box accordion, and Siobhan FitzGerald, Maggie FitzGerald and Mike Hagler delivering vocal harmonies.

This band is one of the most innovative, rock solid and easily enjoyable groups i have ever heard. None of their tunes are alike-- they span several styles yet it all holds together with a great groove, vocals, and, by the way: these guys are amazing LIVE. You have got to see them! They are as witty as their tunes are tasty! Thank you for featuring such a deserving band. Go Marty and Brian!

I love Switchback! Their Celtic music is phenomenal, and many would say their Americana work is even better! Can't wait until the "Ghosts of the River Folk" comes out!

It is so wonderful to see Switchback featured here on the Daily Dose. I can't wait until the new album is available. From what I hear, it very well may the best one yet. And that is saying a lot since the other albums are excellent!
