If you have been craving some country rooted rock these days then "Dust In Your Hands" by Tom Hood and The Trailmen might be right up your alley. Their lineup of songs sets them apart from most rock acts with the addition of fiddle and mandolin both of which are well blended in the mix. Hood takes on the song "Caught In The Rain" with a very inspired Johnny Cash influence making for a great crossover tune. One of the standout tracks is "Back To The Baja" which features some nice lead guitar work and a bouncy groove that could be heard on any Jimmy Buffett or Traveling Wilburys album. Don't expect any classic style cowboy tunes on "Dust In Your Hands" because it's sheer rock/country entertainment. -Shaun and the RadioIndy.com Reviewer Team Message from Hood... After a year of live gigs supporting the release of our first CD "Riding Into Town" the band was ready to record our followup CD. "Dust In Your Hands" contains 9 new songs written by myself along with Paul Carden and Ken Williams. I think you will hear a maturity to the sound that came from our live shows and crowd feedback. The CD featues new players Caitlin Durney on Fiddle, Todd Grossman on Mandolin and Rodney Harris on Drums. Veteran Trailmen returning to duty are John Brzoza on Lead Guitar and Paul Gilmore on Bass.
