Massy Ferguson is Making a Scene

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Massy FergusonHailing from Seattle, Massy Ferguson has spent the better part of two decades exploring both sides of the country-rock divide.  You Can't Tell Me I'm Not What I Used To Be, the band's seventh album, expands beyond that mix of amplified twang and raw, guitar-driven bang. If Massy Ferguson's previous records unfolded like soundtracks for loud, lively evenings at the bar, then You Can't Tell Me I'm Not What I Used To Be explores a different sort of sonic real estate. This is the band's cinematic version of rootsy American music, produced by Damien Jurado—an idiosyncratic folksinger celebrated for his craft as much as his unpredictability—and filled with vintage tones, analog production, lush instrumentation, and the sharp songwriting that's always been the bedrock of Massy Ferguson's music.  http://www.makingascene.org
