The High Chiefs

Last updated: 22 hours ago

Authenticity in music is rare these days, but The High Chiefs achieve it effortlessly.

Ol' Bitch taps into the roots of American music with a perspective that feels both urgent and timeless. Woven from the rough fabric of working-class Staten Island, it captures the raw essence of living in the shadow of a collapsing empire, longing to return to the spirit of its origins.

Featuring members from The Budos Band, Charles Bradley’s touring band, and the engineering prowess of Dan Gallagher, The High Chiefs bring an unmistakable, haunting resonance to each track.

Echoing the spirit of The Basement Tapes and Anthology of American Folk Music, the album is a journey through stark, evocative landscapes—from Staten Island to Colorado and beyond.

Each song is rich with grit and vulnerability, capturing a commitment to craft and authenticity. This is American music at its core—unapologetically real, raw, and reflective of both struggle and resilience. It’s a record that captures the sound of roots rediscovered and is well worth a listen.
