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.

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.
