They Came From Somewhere

Clothesline Revival

2010

Roots music, but served up with continuing twists so that it almost seems to have passed through a fun house mirror, from the imagination and inspiration of Conrad Praetzel. “They Came from Somewhere” is a collection of original instrumentals, ranging from lazy blues ballads to rumpus stomps featuring Conrad Praetzel on acoustic guitar, electric guitar, banjo, mandolin, keyboards and sampler, and special guests Charlie Musslewhite on harmonica, Robert Powell on pedal steel and Chris Rovetti on fiddle.

“The result is music you can feel down in your soul’s root cellar and all the way up to the tingling top of your brain. Fans of down-and-out troubadours like Tom Waits, Ry Cooder, and Leon Redbone owe it to themselves to wander into the backyard of Clothesline Revival.”
