The latest release from New Hampshire alterna-country rockers Say Zuzu would have fit right in five years ago with a movement that was on the move when Whiskeytown’s Stranger’s Almanac and Six String Drag’s High Hat came out. Like those albums, Every Mile gets its rock-and-roll thrills by taking a big chunk of country and sprinkling it with a dash of punk attitude. "Lonely" kicks off the album with a mix of twangy rhythm guitars, crisp vocal harmonies, and a fuzz-guitar lead fat enough to rest your head on. "Don’t Leave" conjures the obvious comparisons with Whiskeytown, with its spare and lonely verses giving way to dueling electric guitars, a bleating harmonica, and a driving beat. But Say Zuzu have been working this territory since 1995, so if they’re drawing on anyone’s history, it’s their own. And with Whiskeytown’s Ryan Adams prematurely trying to outgrow rock and roll, Every Mile is a sound for sore ears.
