"Out of the hundreds of albums being released into the country music market it is not very often that one stands out as being totally different, one such album is Mechanical Bull. Chase Pierson is a genius…you will not have heard anything so original for a long, long time!" - John Morris, British Radio

Mechanical Bull – A Million Yesterdays - Woodstock MusicWorks

Growing up a preacher's son is never an easy task, but apparently that lifestyle can lead to a killer record as Chase Pierson of Mechanical Bull has proved with A Million Yesterdays on Woodstock MusicWorks. Every few years Pierson moved whenever the good lord told his father to do so. As an adult, the wandering didn't stop as Pierson has lived in Boston as a crew chief on an ambulance, proceeding to Texas as a mechanic and tow truck driver and to Kansas as an appliance repairman. These cross-country endeavors are the ingredients that went into concocting A Million Yesterdays. The six-piece country folk band has been a local hit and an underground phenomenon due to their rustic, unique sound and their tragically humorous lyrics. The follow up to last year's All Hat No Cattle features compelling new tunes written by singer/songwriter and ringleader Chase Pierson – and sung by Pierson and Avalon Peacock. Peacock's vocals are intrinsic to Mechanical Bull's sound. She is the daughter of legendary composer Annette Peacock, and has performed with artists such as George Clinton and Coheed and Cambria. Labelmates George Quinn, Chris Zaloom, J-Bird Bowman and David Malachowski round out the band, while renowned keyboardist John Medeski chimes in on B3 for the track "Luke Warm Coffee. The juxtaposition of Pierson's gruff growl and Peacock's angelic, yet dark pipes makes for a sound new and innovative. Add in Zaloom's slinky steel and dobro, Malachowski's bendy blues licks, Quinn's lovely mandolin, Bowman's infectious groove, and Adam Widoff (Lenny Kravitz, Toshi Reagon, David Torn, Kate Pierson, Mercury Rev) on, well, everything, A Million Yesterdays comes fresh out of the box timeless and true. A Million Yesterdays is loaded with songs ranging from subjects about Chase's seven-year-old daughter ("DJ Dancer"), to political songs about rejecting the social institutions that relentlessly try to conform one to hierarchical structures ("Biggest Nerd In The Class)." All in all, there's something for every music fan to tap their foot or nod their head in agreement with Mechanical Bull.
