René van Barneveld used to play guitar with Dutch rock group Urban Dance Squad, but it seems that he has found a new shelter behind pedal steel with The Yearlings.
Showing the strong influence of cult country rockers Uncle Tupelo, as well as an excellent understanding of the 90’s guitar-rock vocabulary, The Yearlings’ long awaited debut album echoes their American heroes in every single inch. Whereas this collection of twelve songs perfectly demonstrates the art of reinventing music, The Yearlings sound refreshing. Maybe the best thing about The Yearlings is that they don’t try to be that inaccessible underground rock band, but what you’ll hear is a young band surrounded by a natural radio-friendliness. Here is how traditional country music and today’s rock ‘n’ roll are easily brought together in twelve convincing pop songs. Of course, it all sounds a bit like the cow punk of Uncle Tupelo and Son Volt, especially the opening tune Stick Around reminds us of Son Volt’s underrated masterpiece Trace, but there is definitely nothing wrong with that. The Yearlings have studied their heroes well.
It’s hard to find a trace of their European roots, because the twangy vocals and honky-tonk music don’t give a clue that their home is in the flat heart of The Netherlands. More than a year ago I called them the most promising Dutch band in what is known as alternative country. This album is for the non-believers. Play and enjoy.
