Rivers In the Wasteland is the follow up to the band’s acclaimed album The Reckoning, a collection of timeless American rock and roll that caught the attention of many including The New York Times who simply said “this gifted band makes anthemic Southern rock” and Entertainment Weekly who applauds the bands “arena muscle” and “porch-pickin’ country … sharp enough to inspire both lighter waving and moonshine chugging.”
With non-stop touring and gripping performances, the band’s powerful live show - one which NPR praises as “intriguing and vivacious” - has helped build a dedicated fan base, one that allows them to play in front of thousands of people across the country. NEEDTOBREATHE will spend all of 2014 on the road!
Rivers In the Wasteland was co-produced by the band with the help of various producers including Joe Chiccarelli (My Morning Jacket), Kevin Augunas (The Lumineers), Ed Cash and Jerrod Bettis (Adele).
