Bow Thayer And Perfect Trainwreck’s “Bottom Of The Sky”: A Taste Of Everything -by Woody Fuller

These boys, hailing from all over, are now making their tunes up in the mountains of Vermont. Listening to their album, “Bottom of the Sky,” you get a nice taste of everything Bow and Co. have gone through to get where they are today, some folk sounds, blue-grass, blues, and countless other influences along the ride. You have a track like “Good Time to Holler”, which is soulful, a bit funky, but still has the eyes of the mountain music in her, with help of Bow and his Banjo, then “Epitome” comes on, and its more rock n roll, a little jam bandish, (evident the band could jam on forever if given the chance) great beer drinking music. “Dawning”  is up next on shuffle, great vocals by Bow, (written by him as well) excellent song; you know how different music puts you in a different place? Reggae puts me at the beach, electronic puts me at a sick rave, “Dawning” puts me in the mountains, in nature, free, lack of any rules or boundaries. I very great place for a song to take you.

I would have never stumbled upon Bow and the Perfect Trainwreck if it weren’t for Iman, so now that you have, give them a listen, and let their music take you somewhere where you’ll be free.

And to help w/ Bow’s life philosophy, to live, love, learn, and leave a good soundtrack, Bow and the PTW have given us “Bottom of the Sky,” a destination you are closest to reaching after climbing the highest mountain, cliff, hill, mound or pile of dirt you know.
