Nashville-based band Gentry Blue describe themselves as progressive rock, but their hometown is certainly prominent in their sound too. Technical blues-rock bands with a country tinge such as Dire Straits and even Fleetwood Mac hit closer to home. But that’s just a wrestle with semantics.
More importantly, the band can pen a decent tune. “Frontwoman Lydia Gentry-Debonis becomes an oracle of emotion over the crushing instrumentals of Brendan Gentry-Debonis and Sean Jannay,” they say, and that’s fair. Lydia Gentry-Debonis has a strong set of lungs, and a song like “82 on a 55” are very enjoyable. The hooks plant themselves deep.
