The Fingers - The Very Best Of The Fingers (2013)

The Fingers embody the spirit of midwestern honky tonk country music and then step it up a level or too. Soulful, diverse, consistent. Sometimes frank, sometimes surreal. No affected Nashville twang. Cinematic. This trio of songwriters: Jeff Held, Luke Sather, and Louka Patenaude (the latter best known as creator of The Optimistic (Layered) and his lead guitar work with jazz legend Ben Sidran, and reggae kings Natty Nation) takes the listener through a trip from the dust and dirt to the metaphysical imaginings of the subconscious. Earthy acoustic movers, timely harmonies, and blazing guitars warming up the cold sink. The Onion called The Optimistic "addictive". The Very Best of the Fingers, their debut album, is more so.
