The Mars McClanes with another excellent follow-up

Times have not always been easy for the Dallas music scene where The Mars McClanes originally hail from. The Toadies had split up after releasing their second album and Satellite Rides marked the end of The Old 97’s major label career, leaving the band ticking along in a tier or two below.

“We played a show every week that year,” explains frontman Brian Corley. “There was always some new original thing we were itching to try out live, to see which genres we could sneak into alt-country and still get away with it.” Despite doing everything right and having the likes of excellent booking agents and a great online presence, The Mars McClanes were struggling in what was a difficult time for music.

“We got a jab, followed by a left hook,” adds guitarist Russ Chapman. “Our drummer, Paul Constantine, had a scary yet hilarious road mishap on the highway back from a show at The Blue Light in Lubbock. About the same time, the 9/11 attacks happened, and Russ ran off and joined the military” Constantine adds. Since then, however, the band have reformed in 2020, and are now enjoying successes that they were undoubtedly more deserving of back in the day.

Following on from their recent successes with “The Worriers” is their latest release, “Day Is Done”. This top-notch production features a beautiful orchestration of rich and impacting vocals, which skate perfectly across a harmonious pond of heavenly guitar riffs and a head-turning lesson in percussion, which will leave you with a wonderful feeling of calm and happiness.
