The Ram lamas are weaving an ever-expanding tapestry of first-class songwriting, coloured with early '70s rock, country soul, pop and folk. Theirs is a brand of distinctly individual Americana which has drawn comparisons to everyone from the Faces to Crazy Horse to the Replacements and beyond. Recorded by the Sydney six-piece mostly live with producer Michael Carpenter, 'Drownded' sounds fresh and vital. This is goodtime music first and foremost, which translates to typically exhilarating live shows.
