Rope. That approach was
appropriate considering
the tunes were written in various locations, from south
Georgia to Arizona and New Mexico, from Texas to
principal songwriters Tim and Susan Bauer Lee’s east
Tennessee home, and points in between.
Recorded in Knoxville, Austin, and Tucson, the new
record contains the same rock n’ roll stew that defined
previous TL3 releases — a heady mixture of power pop,
garage rock, psychedelia, punk, blues, Americana, and
swamp rock. On Devil’s Rope, though, the trio stretches
out a bit more.
The soup’s still the same, just with additional
ingredients.
“It’s not that this record is so different from what
we’ve done before,” said bassist/singer/songwriter Susan
Bauer Lee. “There’s just a wider variety of approaches.”
Added guitarist/singer/songwriter Tim Lee: “We
have a tendency to let the songs dictate how they are
played, so we don’t necessarily worry about a specific
sound. We really try to trust our instincts and the songs, so
sometimes the styles end up being all over the map.
“But, that’s our sonic definition of rock n’ roll.”
