It's always interesting meeting a band after you've listened to all of their music. Perceptions shift and so many dots get connected in learning about the style and process of songwriting. For me, The Sapsuckers exemplify the longstanding traditions of Americana music. They understand the dynamics in the genre, are able to classify the type of song on first listen, and constantly honor old-timey elements in their production techniques. In this first episode of season one, Tom Smouse's first discussion revealed all of this in the thoughtful answers and throwbacks to their influences.
