Song: Miss Me While I’m Gone
My
husband and I worked Coachella this year in the Vestage Village. One of
our customers that weekend, Chandler Haynes, sat
down in our chair and told us about his band and how excited he was to play
Coachella. Several excruciatingly hot hours later I heard this awesome band on
the Vestage main stage and there was Chandler, freshly groomed and all. The
band I heard is The Ragged Jubilee, and to the best of my knowledge, they
remain unsigned.
Part
folk part rock and roll with deep gritty bluesy vocals, each melody
distinguishes itself from the rest while never quite leaving the sound of the
album. Blood on the Highway and Miss Me While I’m Gone are heartbreaking, yet
terribly exciting, songs about love and loss without being tedious and typical.
Christopher Harrell’s cover artwork of American Moan matches the vocals on the
album, subtle and light but still somehow magnificently haunting.
