The Revivalists' name says it all. They're a big, raucous American band making big-hearted music with an ear for instant-classic hooks. Based in New Orleans, they combine seven talented musicians playing instruments as diverse as saxophone and pedal steel guitar into a thick, soulful musical gumbo. On their recently released third studio album _Men Amongst Mountains,_ which features the hit single, "Wish I Knew You," the bands talents are out in full force, and the result is irresistible toe-tapping pop.
We had the band take us for a weekend in their world as they played the Austin City Limits Music Festival:
