    The Joy Mills Band takes a sonic turn on their new album, Echolocator, taking their soulful country and roots sound into new territory. The sound is clean and modern, vocals front and center. An eclectic set of influences from long-time band members takes flavors from singer-songwriters like Jenny Lewis and Sharon Van Etten and twangy southern rock classics from Supertramp and The Police. The rhythm section is no-frills straight ahead, and the atmosphere and vibe come from Lucien LaMotte's versatile lead guitar and Jack Quick's playful keyboards. Still classic and warm, the Joy Mills Band delivers 10 unfaltering songs on Echolocator, their fifth release, mixed by Julian Martlew and mastered by Ed Brooks (Resonant Mastering).

lyrics

You can count on me, you can count on my rock and roll
Sure as sun will shine to beat the band
So delicate and new, it was the early side of June
Big mama roll the ball across the sky

My favorite stone
My favorite stone

You can follow down to the bay
Every river knows the way
Polish your mind to silver from the gray
When you reach the ocean shore
I will intimate some more
Big mama roll the ball across the sky

Still is life in a wooden frame
Still is life a horizon game
Baling water from my throat
The salty sting of everything

You can count on me, I’m here naturally
Like a forest in your heart I grow the trees
Pine needles soft in spring, to you my subtlety will sing
Big mama roll the ball across the sky
