Chicago Americana artists The Spares just released a new CD, Everything is Easy.
The CD is The Spares’ first studio release since Beautiful and Treacherous Thing, which was a national finalist for Americana Album of the Year in the Just Plain Folks Music Awards. Other past honors for The Spares include “Country Song of the Year” from the Independent Artists Company for the song “Mexico,” from The Spares’ debut album in 2005. The Spares are an Americana duo from Chicago that makes twangy, bluesy, roots music that critics describe as “hauntingly gorgeous” (Maverick Magazine), “simple, aching and hearty” (NewCity Chicago) and “somewhere in heaven between Gram Parsons and Alison Krauss” (Smother Magazine).
The Spares’ original acoustic music “might seem too beautiful, too ethereal, too country to be a product of gritty grey Chicago, but indeed it is,” according to WBEZ’s Alison Cuddy. “Their sound kind of tracks their personal journeys, in encompassing the range of the American heartland. That may be why, in spite of the literal spareness of their music, it can be hard to categorize.” Indeed, The Spares’ new songs fuse country, folk, blues and rock, while the lyrics introduce a cast of characters who are desperate and hopeful, buoyant and brokenhearted—sometimes all at once. |
