The Strange Tones are Portland, Oregon based band who have published his first album leaded by singer and guitar player Miss Guitar Julie who, although she is a very young girl, she shows a great knowledge and experience to have done a tasteful pleasant self produced work They have a personal original style and their influences can be seen from the first cd song and cover from american roots music to blues surf and r&b mixture which comes out to the swampy Louisiana downhome roadhouse sound in the path of Slim Harpo or Link Wray All songs included on the cd are the band`s own compositions with Guitar Julie at vocals, lead and thythm guitar, Whit Draper at lead and rhythm guitar too, JD Huge at drums, congas and maracas and Andy Strange who almost has the same prominent role than Julie, at bass, harp, guitar and vocals The cd will certainly surprise more than one and will be specially enjoyed by the youngest fans http://wwwstrangetonescom
