L.A.’s Neverland Ranch Davidians return with the long-awaited follow-up to their critically acclaimed, self-titled debut album from 2023. Shout It On The Mountain contains 13 songs, including 10 new band originals and covers of Eddie Floyd, Skip James, and obscure 60’s Chicago garage-punkers Half Pint and The Fifths.
In the last two years, Davidians Tex Mosley, Will Bentley and Max Hagen have played dozens of incendiary shows across California and beyond, wowing audiences with their potent mix of garage rock, blues, cowpunk, Stax soul, and greasy R&B (played with just two guitars and drums). Having received rave reviews for their debut from critics and fans alike (Iggy Pop being one of the latter), the Neverland Ranch Davidians aren’t ones to rest on their laurels. Shout It On The Mountain finds them honing their songcraft and expanding their sound, adding more soul and R&B to the mix. While the trio plays live without a bass player, Greg “Smog” Boaz (Mavis Staples, Dave Alvin and the Guilty Men, Tex & the Horseheads) played bass on all of the new album’s tracks.
