‘Tales From The Greenhills Tavern’ is certainly a wholesome record. It’s not a product of ambition or calculated action; rather, it stems from TB Whiteside’s artistic soul, boasting authenticity and a desire for connection with worldwide listeners. In fact, he’s very clear about the motivating force behind the record: simply, personal expression and the willingness to seriously share his own original music with keen human beings.
After a lifetime spent playing society’s pre-defined roles, the Aussie hero seeks to focus on the vibey and majestically bluesy ‘Tales From The Greenhills Tavern’; packed with eleven storytelling episodes, the record is drenched in classic Americana, Blues and Country stylings, perfectly fitting Whiteside’s deep, malleable and evocative vocals. Steel, acoustic guitars and rolling drums are a permanent feature of such classic goodness, showcasing TB’s musical prowess and his nuanced songwriting abilities.
A worthy record! Pro tip: if you get the physical record on Bandcamp, you’ll have two bonus tracks… if you know, you know!
