The Court and Spark


Over the summer of last year I went through a huge alt. country phase. It's a good thing that I didn't know about the band The Court and Spark because I most likely would only have exacerbated that alt-country obsession.

The Court and Spark are:
M.C. Taylor - vocals, guitar
Scott Hirsch - guitar, back-up vocals
James Kim - drums
Tom Heyman - pedal steel
Dan Carr - bass

For a more complete biography of the band, visit here at their website.

These songs are all extremely well-done, and I don't want to go further into detail, so just listen for yourself:

The Court and Spark - Fireworks (Highly recommended)
The Court and Spark - Suffolk Down Upon the Night
The Court and Spark - For the Good Times
The Court and Spark - All Day Long

You can order their albums at their Absolutely Kosher page or at Amazon here.

For all you out in California, The Court and Spark have five shows planned in the next few coming months throughout CA, so go out there and support the band.
