Big, Blusterly Southern Fried Rock from the Quaint Mississippi Community of British Columbia

Just a quick post today from a band I had meant to include in some earlier playlist, but must have forgotten.
The band in question is Black Mountain, from Vancouver, British Colombia, Canada, which rumor has it is only a million minute drive from Tennessee.

Proggy southern rock. I guess. I don't know. "Proggy" and "southern rock" are not the same thing, but the combo still sounds right. Then again, people use "penultimate" wrong all the time, and I think "on accident" sounds correct, so don't take my word for it.

Personally, I think they'd object to the southern rock label, but they ain't here. And the song I've posted--"Stormy High"--is probably the most convincingly so dubbed. The fact that this whole embarrassing episode is betraying my ignorance of that genre aside, I can also just play it safe and call it psychedelic. That'd work too.

Anyway, it's a good song. So enjoy some traditional hickory smoked British Colombia Pacific salmon and a nice, full glass of bubble tea, and sing yerself a song 'bout bein' raised up down yonder in Port Coquitlam.
Woah Black Betty, wham-a-lam, indeed. Track #90 on the player.
This is a good band.
