Pacific Standard (from the album The Honeyed & The Bittersweet, Volume I available on Mercy Street Entertainment Group)
Modeling a sound on California Country heritage and a Country Rock style, San Francisco American Roots collective Pacific Standard serve up The Honeyed & The Bittersweet, Volume I. The album collects songs from Pacific Standard alongside a rousing, true-to-origins, version of Stealers Wheel “Stuck in the Middle with You”. Country rhythms roam free for the title track, Pacific Standard offering love advice that turns personal as “The Honeyed & The Bittersweet” sings of a safe space somewhere in its own middle.
There is a warmth in the playing of Pacific Standard, acoustics bright as the storyline of “Consolation” strips bare a soul as they border The Honeyed & The Bittersweet, Volume I with an assured beat as they demand room to move around, opening the album with “Fence” while a sharp bite spits out a goodbye in the closing cut, “Always Be with You”. High-lonesome vocals from frontman Greg Lamboy are a secret weapon for the natural Americana and Roots tones of Pacific Standard. The Honeyed & The Bittersweet, Volume I echoes the joyous Roots rambles of fellow Bay Area band, Grateful Dead, in the musical abandon of “Rapscallion Rhapsody” while Pacific Standard put a train-track rhythm underneath “Sooner or Later” as the story launches what-if’s that make judgments and urge change before time runs out.
