The Mayfield Four - 12/31



The Mayfield Four - 12/31


Most rock fans will be familar with Myles Kennedy. He's risen to fame and acclaim after replacing Scott Stapp in Creed (although named Alter Bridge). However most fans aren't aware his previous band The Mayfield Four created 2 far superior albums. Destined to be modern classics one day.

12/31 is the standout track from the Fallout album. It's builds with a slow crescendo of strings. You can hear it in Myles' voice that he's burned out and in a low place. 'If I had a Drink, I'd drink it/If I had a drug, I'd take it'. Spokane resembles Seattle and did give birth to it's own mini music movement. With nothing to do but sit in the basement and make music, miracles happen. This is one of them. Enjoy.
