Madison, Wisconsin’s the Sharrows have taken to calling their music “farm rock,” which may be more of a reflection on the band’s surroundings than its sound. Even so, the Sharrows’ Days of Yore doesn’t have much in the way of crunchy country flavors. The album title does reference the band’s throwback sound, but it’s not the one you’re thinking of: “Yours and Mine” could have been ripped from the Allman Brothers catalog, and “Echo” could easily translate into an old-school punk song if the band was brave enough for sludgy guitar riffs. This is not music for a tractor ride or the church social. This is music for a different kind of good time.
