Western Electric

Western Electric is the name of a very modern band put together by Sid Griffin, who called their sound "country and eastern". Western Electric have so far released just one eponymously titled album, back in March 2000, though it came out in the USA and Europe with different tracklistings. (Note ALL of the songs are available to stream via the usual outlets.) The music is far removed from either the country-tinged rock or bluegrass Griffin usually makes but it is very 21st century accessible. German based label Glitterhouse described it as "weird and very atmospheric...kinda strange and wonderful at once". The band have also contributed tracks to various tribute and compilation albums (all of which is available to stream), but a second album has yet to appear due to a serious road accident involving one band member.
