The very title The Front Porch Sessions suggests what Reverend
Peyton's Big Damn Band deliver on their sixth album:
stripped-down, simple, down-home blues. Reverend Peyton began
using the term "Front Porch Sessions" back in 2014, when he
started posting live clips recorded on his front porch onto the
internet, but this 2017 album was indeed cut in a studio: Farm
Fresh in his native Indiana. It may have been made in a
professional studio, but The Front Porch Sessions delivers on the
intimacy and immediacy of its title, while also sounding very,
very big. Almost of this lies on Reverend Peyton himself, who has
a muscular howl that tends to overshadow the other two members of
his big band, but that's by design. The Big Band deliver a big
sound by focusing on a down-and-gritty groove, a boogie that
naturally comes to the forefront on the handful of instrumentals,
but is also felt when Peyton is bellowing his lungs out. This
palpable sense of soul, combined with a strong set of songs --
there are a handful of standards, including Furry Lewis' "When My
Baby Left Me," along with solid originals -- elevates The Front
Porch Sessions to the very top rank of the Reverend Peyton's Big
Damn Band albums.
