You’ll have to check the calendar to make sure it’s actually 2016 when you hear Minneapolis-based duo The Cactus Blossoms' - Jack Torrey and Page Burkum - new release You’re Dreaming. Out on January 22nd, produced by JD McPherson and released via Red House Records, You’re Dreaming brings that timeless sound of years past front and center. Blending elements of early rock n’ roll and classic country, The Cactus Blossoms have successfully (and seemingly with ease) tapped into a sound that should delight a listener’s ears. The songs do the talking; with minimal instrumentation, thoughtful and innocent lyrics and enviable harmonies the duo recall The Everly or Louvin Brothers, while there’s echoes of Hank Williams on the shuffling opener “Stoplight Kisses” and Jerry Lee Lewis/Beach Boys on “No More Crying The Blues” (originally an Alton & Jimmy tune). Heartbreak can be found on the title track, while earnest, simple and effective ballads take center stage on the lovely “Queen Of Them All,” the flawless waltz “Adios Maria,” and the somber, introspective “If I Can’t Win,” on which he sings, “I talk to my cigarettes, the most they listen is ten minutes, but I’ll have another one it’s a new pack so they can’t run.” Guaranteed to stick in your head and get you swinging, “Clown Collector” is a humorous tune about a woman, “a honeybee looking for nectar” while the western leaning “Change Your Ways or Die” recalls the man in black. Rounding out the project is the dreamlike mood of “Mississippi” and closer “Travelers Paradise” which appropriately begins with “Goodbye, sure is good to know ya/I’m so thankful for ya, that’s how I’ll always feel,” and will have you feeling as if you’ve come to the end of a movie with the characters trailing off into the sunset. Without feeling forced or fabricated, You’re Dreaming brings tradition to the present in an album that will leave you in awe as to how people so young can firmly and effectively grasp the sounds of the past and bring them to a new audience. Even though it is only January, You’re Dreaming will be one album you return to throughout the year.
