New Discoveries: The Lone Bellow, Valerie June, and More
THE LONE BELLOW - “DRIED UP RIVER”
A cheerful guitar melody and choral group begin the lovely “Dried Up River.” It’s the second song to The Lone Bellow’s newest double track release,
Half Moon Light Second Phase. A drum beat and a piano riff then introduce the lyrics about being grateful for everything that we’re given. Frontman Zach Williams sings, “what if life is all about giving back the love you found?” Lyrics like this really hit home in the explosively emotional chorus. The gospel choir-esque vocal arrangement adds to the power and drive of this folk-tinged cry for peace.
