Revival

There are at least 3 groups known by the name Revival. 1) Revival is an alt. country band formed by Josh Read and Evan Berodt of Canyon and Jay Farrar's touring band. Riding back in on the Horses of War, recent-dead tangles with Canyon and Jay Farrar pushed like bodies out the rear door of memory, these are men on a mission – to assume the aching on behalf of all us sad sinners, to alight in the night for a moon they know is reachable. Open spaces aren’t wide enough, high and lonesome not sparse enough, even the rain not wet enough, for the sea-weary longshoremen of Revival.
