Cracklin Moth : Redbird EP

"There's a moment during "Special," the lead track from Redbird EP, the five-song debut by the Chicago alternative-country quartet Cracklin Moth, that simply slays me. 'Heard it from the [Lord]/Heard you whisper through the pines,' soulful vocalist and songwriter Matt Ammerman sings. 'So we drove out to Chicago/And by the weekend, she was mine.' Familiar faces on the local music scene, Ammerman, bassist John Hasbrouck, drummer Shawn Rios (Palaxy Tracks, Scotland Yard Gospel Choir) and lead guitarist and pedal steel player Rocco Labriola first came together under the name Redbird in the summer of 2004. Alas, another group had already claimed that moniker, forcing them to change their name. But Cracklin Moth is more enigmatic anyway, and the local quartet got to keep its original name for their first strong release."   - Jim DeRogatis (Chicago Sun Times) 2006
