Released in 2007, Tonight At The Arizona caught The Felice Brothers at an early peak, folding Americana, folk, country and ragged roots rock into something loose, lyrical and completely their own.
The Dylan, Band and traditional folk influences are easy to hear, but the real pull is how naturally the record bends them into its own world. Songs like Roll On Arte, The Ballad of Lou the Welterweight, Rockefeller Druglaw Blues and Mercy are full of vivid characters, tenderness, humour and heartbreak.
Deeply atmospheric and rich with storytelling, Tonight At The Arizona remains one of the defining early statements of modern Americana, establishing The Felice Brothers as true heirs to the great American folk tradition.
