Interview with Peter Crowley for The Adirondack Daily Enterprise : July 2013
Review of “This Train We Ride is Made of Wood and Steel” by Upstate Live
“If Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters kidnapped the Kingston Trio’s kids and released them upon the world twenty years later you would have The Blind Owl Band!” – Popa Tunes
“‘Rowdy String Music’ think M&S without the pretences or maybe OCMS not trying too hard, think of the soundtrack for a Tarantino / Rodriguez re-make of Oh Brother Where Art Thou, think The Blind Owl Band.” – Beat-Surrender
“Geographically in the music world, location can often define a band. Hailing from Saranac Lake, these bearded boys have characterized their sound as if they stood on top of their mountain reaching out their beat up instruments grabbing various concepts of music, holding it captive ultimately for a presentation unique to the scene. On stage, they knocked the nit and grit right out of their strings. Added vocal harmonies invite us to the darker realm, where we were lead through a journey of traditional roots, dirty jams and down right scary turns along the way. Be brave and bold, these North Country boys can lighten it up a bit with Irish pub tunes as well.” – Upstate Live
“After a successful Kickstarter campaign, The Blind Owl Band have released their new album,This Train We Ride is Made of Wood and Steel. Featuring the same hyperkinetic strain of traditional American music that marked their 2012 album, Rabble Rousing The Blind Owl Band make one hell of a joyful noise.” – Bucket Full of Nails
“Between their first album and their submission to Couch by Couchwest, the Blind Owl Band was beginning to make a name for themselves as a rowdy, footloose bunch. Imagine my surprise when their sophomore album opened with a somber tune called “Sailor’s Song.” It sets the tone for the rest of the album — hard-driving and determined. That’s not to say that the Owls have lost their sense of fun. There are plenty of boot-stompers on here. To the contrary, the Blind Owl Band is showing off their newfound maturity. But unlike other bands who create morose second albums to show off their Depth, the Blind Owl Band is simply devoting their manic energy in another direction. They still pick like it’s their job, and they still sound like they’ve just arrived from the depths of Appalachia.” – Adobe and Teardrops
