Guitarist Aaron Moreland and harpist/vocalist Dustin Arbuckle, along with drummer Brad Horner, have fashioned an old/new 21st century roots sound by merging several American musical strains, from blues, folk, and country to rock and soul, and when at their best, they do it all with a raw and energetic passion. Three self-produced albums -- Caney Valley Blues in 2005, Floyd's Market in 2006, and 1861 in 2008 -- garnered critical attention, and Moreland & Arbuckle signed with Telarc International, which released Flood in 2010. Issued in 2011, Just a Dream featured a guest spot from guitarist Steve Cropper. Horner left in 2012 and was replaced by Kendall Newby. The revamped trio emerged with 7 Cities in 2013. ~ Steve Leggett
