Ears Wide Open: The Tin Drums

On his solo album “Stomp Out the Sun,” singer-songwriter Jason Diaz established himself as a blues-rock classicist with a clarion, gospel-influenced voice. In his new venture the Tin Drums, Diaz has a foil in singer/lap steel player Anna Beth Carlson. The duo have set course for the wide-open spaces of soulful Americana, and their first self-produced song, “All the Way Down” chugs along in the tracks of the lap steel’s tears. The Tin Drums plan to release an EP in September. This song is a lovely start.
