Moreland & Arbuckle will release “consciously traditional” album Promised Land Or Bust in May

Moreland & Arbuckle have confirmed the launch of their album Promised Land Or Bust on May 6 via Alligator Records.

It’s their debut with the label, who say the Kansas blues trio have applied “musical muscle and fifth-gear urgency” to the work.

Guitarist Aaron Moreland says: “The album is consciously traditional – but still has the signature drive and power that we’ve crafted over the past 13 years.”

Vocalist and harpist Dustin Arbuckle adds: “We continue to evolve outside the box we started in. But the bedrock – the blues – is always there.”

The band will announce tour dates in the US, Europe and elsewhere in due course. Promised Land Or Bust is available for pre-order now in CD and vinyl formats.
