Marley’s Ghost’s Honky Tonk proves that heartbreak and a backbeat have always belonged together. The veteran folk, gospel and bluegrass ensemble brings four decades of adventurous chemistry to 14 country classics, blending fiddle, pedal steel, piano, electric guitar, dobro and mandolin with shared vocals and effortless authenticity.
“Invitation to the Blues” sets the tone, while “Honky Tonk Song,” “Brand New Mister Me,” and “Just Someone I Used to Know” balance regret with irresistible grooves. Waylon Jennings’ “Only Daddy That’ll Walk the Line” adds swagger, while “Slowly” and “Waltz of the Angels” offer a touch of tenderness.
