Friday Pick of the Week

Happy Friday, friends.  A theme for Fridays past has been keeping it local, and again this week we choose another act Alabama born and bred.  Fire Mountain is a band based out of south Alabama, incorporating folk and rock styles to create rich sound reminiscent of some of Ray LaMontagne's work.  They are relatively new to the music scene, though are taking full advantage of the rapidly changing music business to try to get their music into your ears.  You can find most of their recordings here on Soundcloud, and they are active on Twitter, Facebook and Myspace.  Their recently released album, Live at Standard Deluxe, is available via bandcamp.com for whatever price you choose (even if that price is zero dollars).  They've also been burning up the pavement on their most recent tour, which included a stop at The Bottletree here in Birmingham.  I feel like a cover song is typically a good test of a band's potential (see Alien Ant Farm), and what better genre for a folk rock band to cover than R&B?  Without further ado, I present Fire Mountain's rendition of "DJ's Got Us Falling in Love."
