THE NEW 7" VINYL IS NOW AVAILABLE!
"Following last year's eminently respectable 1st album "a new day dawning" (Nasoni 033) Siena Root present a new 7"-single and a new line-up. "Mountain songs" introduces new lead vocalist Sanya whose bluesy and soulful voice recalls Maggie Bell. This more than 12 minutes long epic is divided into a slightly psych-blend, organ propelled heavy groover on the a-side and an earthy and strong blues rocker on the flipside. Dig it & be prepared for the upcoming album!" -Nasoni Records
