​She Brought Me Gasoline (from the album There Were Times available as an independent release) (by Bryant Liggett)
It’s not every day you get to dig into Roots bands from Croatia. It’s actually not every week, month, or even year. However, calling Roots-tinged music that comes across lonely, worn, and sad with a slight chug of twang Americana is selfish, like a country that places its own name on a sport that’s called a different name everywhere else on the planet. Those themes and those melodic sounds can exist everywhere and can be explored by anyone, as Croatia’s She Brought Me Gasoline does on their latest effort There Were Times.
There are cuts that are empty, late-night road lonely, like “Above the Regular Crowd” and “The Road”, the latter ultra-slow, super-desolate. “Rabotny” is an instrumental cut where stringed instruments meander, “Last Night I Had a Dream” is a fantastic Roots-noir ballad, and “Let Me Move On” is another to add to the ever-growing canon of Roots train songs.
She Brought Me Gasoline’s sound picks up where The Gourds left off. Cuts where the banjo is front and center, wonderful guitar fills in all the right places, and the lonely melodies that seem to be patched together with thin stitching give the whole record a raggedy feel. It is that looseness that makes the record so appealing. There’s front porch picking parties everywhere, twang isn’t regional, and There Were Times is a prime example of Global Americana.
