Legendary Austin rockers returning with Low Country, the alternate version of their critically acclaimed album High Country!Tracklist
Low Country is a compilation album by American hard rock band The Sword. Recorded at The Bend in Austin, Texas and The Berry in Taylor, Texas, it was produced by the band's bassist Bryan Richie and released on September 23, 2016 by Razor & Tie. The album features stripped-down acoustic recordings of ten of the 15 songs from the band's 2015 fifth studio album High Country, which were recorded shortly before the album's release, between June and August 2015.
After recording their fifth studio album High Country between March and June 2015, The Sword recorded primarily acoustic versions of ten of the album's 15 tracks at The Bend in Austin, Texas and The Berry in Taylor, Texas. The recordings were produced by the band's bassist Bryan Richie and mixed at Magpie Cage Studios in Baltimore, Maryland by J. Robbins, who also mixed High Country and had previously produced the band's 2012 fourth studio album Apocryphon.
The spaced-out, heavy-riffing throwbacks hit the front porch. A stripped-down, mostly acoustic take on the Hawkwind boogie of 2015’s High Country, Low Country proves that its source material was more than the sum of its fuzz pedals. The simpler arrangements lend the band’s sound a rustic edge, making songs like “Mist & Shadow” and “The Dreamthieves” not just companions to their originals, but their own, estimable beasts.
