Michael Ford, Jr. and the Apache Relay : Behind the Scenes

0 Comments 26 Dec, 2009

Love these guys. Their cd, 1988, has been on constant rotation in our house since the morning they dropped by to visit our Kitchen. Also, it features some very hot photography by Nashville-based photographer Rachel Williamson . Smart move, fellas! This album is good stuff, indeed. Sometimes they remind me a bit of Ryan Adams, but without the gut-wrenching desire to end it all. They’ve got their own thing for sure, which you can clearly hear (and see) in their video.

Friendly, polite, funny, and obviously having a good time out on the road, Michael Ford, Jr. and the Apache Relay might just become your newest favorite band. Paste Magazine didn’t name them one of the “Eight Most Auspicious Musicial Debuts of 2009″ for nothin’. Here they are when I wasn’t awkwardly holding the boom mic.
