Album Review: The Felice Brothers – Undress

The Felice Brothers,”Undress” (Yep Roc)-Brothers Ian and James Felice spent their formative years in the Hudson Valley region of upstate New York, where they were exposed to  such diverse creative influences as the works of Woody Guthrie, Chuck Berry and American poet and essayist Walt Whitman. The critically acclaimed pair may have begun their performing careers as buskers  on the unforgiving streets of the Big Apple in 2006 but they’re now firmly established as prime purveyors of the finest Americana, and their first album with the recently recruited rhythm section of Will Lawrence and Jesske Hume serves up a string of evocative Dylanesque gems led by “Jack Reminiscing,” “The Kid” and “Undress” itself.
