New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Already drawing comparisons to The Allman Brothers, The Band and Jackson Browne, The Bros. Landreth - the latest signing to Slate Creek Records, the tastemaker indie that delivered both
Brandy Clark and Angaleena Presley - reveals its first music video through CMT today. "I Am The Fool" is the 4th track on the band's 11-song, Jan. 27 release, 'Let It Lie.'
Called "the best Southern-style blues" (Rolling Stone) after sold-out performances during AmericanaFest in September, The Bros. Landreth is planning a
Spring tour that will bring its "quiet storm of slide guitar solos, blue notes, three part harmonies and swagger" to major markets that include New York City, Philadelphia,
Chicago and Nashville.
Award-winning guitar aficionado Paul
Franklin says, "They are world class songsmiths whose articulate sound is soul stirring." The Washington Times says the band is a "rare, real deal" and No Depression calls out "Joey's soft deep Allmanesque vocals and electric slide guitar shredding."
Front man Joey Landreth recently shared with Billboard magazine that each of the songs on the disc stem from a real-life experience. "I am very much a heart-on-my-sleeve kind of guy, and many of those songs were a form of catharsis for me - dealing with some heartbreak, both on the receiving and delivering end of it. It helped provide some closure to some things that I didn't have before."

About The Bros. Landreth -
The four-piece band's sound is anchored by the bluesy wail of electric guitars, the swell of B3 organ, and the blood harmonies of brothers Joey and
David Landreth.
'Let It Lie' was recorded in a straw bale house in southern Manitoba, during one of the coldest winters in recent memory. Working with producer Murray Pulver, The Bros. Landreth found warmth in the songs that Joey and
David had written at home, brewing up an earthy, earnest sound that has since drawn comparisons to The Band, The Allman Brothers and Jackson Browne.
The Winnipeg Free Press applauding the band's "blues rock [songs] resplendent with soulful harmonies as golden and warm as the late evening sun."
