With one half of the band influenced by the sounds and lyrics of Alt-Country, and the other half deeply rooted in a more modern folk, The Deer Run Drifters have quickly carved themselves out a perfect spot in Americana music.

Their latest album Restless Youth continues what the band is known for: themes of life, heartbreak, and of course drunken mishaps.  Utilising their trademark weathered and often heartbreaking lyrics fused with a “high and lonesome” twang to draw listeners in, there’s desperation in vocalist Chris Link’s voice that’s both alluring and bleeds honesty.

Give the title track a spin.
