Kelly Russell & The Planks
The Planks teams up Kelly Russell, one of the Newfoundland’s leading traditional
musicians, with Chris Batstone, Sean Panting and Adam Staple of the rock
trio Drive..... a true fusion of the old & the new..... traditional
fiddle tunes being reinvented, combining both a respect for the inherent
value of the original tune with the sheer, unbridled adrenaline addicting
rock sounds that Drive has mastered..... utterly electrifying..... crank
up the volume, blow the wax out of your ears and dance yourself into a
frenzy - This album deserves no less. - Mark Vaughn-Jackson : Entertainment
