Teach Us

Crimson

October 18, 2011

Top tracks: “One,” “Love Will Never Fail,” “Be Like You,” “Teach Us to Love”

What began as a group of five friends in a 2008 living room jam session has morphed into a full-time recording and touring band. This Tennessee troupe turns in 13 earthy tunes throughout this vertically focused album, blending folk, bluegrass, and Americana with rock and pop elements. The mix of harmonies is nothing short of sublime, shifting from joyful to pensive to praise-filled, fitting just as comfortably on country radio one minute as a more straight-up CCM station the next.
