Somewhere on a lonely desert road between New Orleans and Bakersfield, there’s a dusty pickup truck with New York plates, a stack of guitars and accordions and rubboards in the back, and a hazy AM station that keeps slipping between slick Buck Owens heartache and some raucous back-bayou Cajun jam. Such is the effect of the Doc Marshalls, a Brooklyn-based five-piece who, depending on the track, belt out smooth ballads or bar-stomping Louisiana-style free-for-alls. At the forefront, particularly on the latter, are the sizzling fiddle work of Mat Kane and the hyperactive Cajun accordion of Nick Beaudoing, who also sings. On the less frantic tunes, lead guitarist Will Solomon steps in, lacing the poppy vocals with echoing retro-Nashville runs.
