The Great Divide - Break in the Storm - Music & Performance - CD

Hailing from Stillwater, Oklahoma, the Great Divide has cultivated an enthusiastic following deep within the U.S. heartland. Watering hole gigs for local Oklahoma State University crowds in the early 1990's marked the band's genesis. These days, they're performing nationwide and earning impressive sales and airplay wherever they play. Produced by Lloyd Maines (Jerry Jeff Walker, Joe Ely), the band's major label debut features the 1st single/video: "Never Could."

The Great Divide's second album, Break in the Storm, was their breakthrough effort, the record that demonstrated they could blend country traditions with contemporary energy and wit. Led by vocalist/guitarist Mike McClure, the band has a tough, gritty edge that brings out the best in McClure's honky tonk and Bakersfield updates. There are a couple of moments that don't quite ring true on the album, but on the whole, Break in the Storm is Americana and alt-country at its best. ~ Thom Owens, All Music Guide
