We're excited as hell for Crave's Band of The Month featured artist in October, because it's not often that a new piece of music will grab you by the soul. We've had an incredible streak of musical strength in our BOTM series thus far, taping unforgettable performances with Dessa, Everlast, Nico Vega and beyond. Today we continue the series with the first performance from October's featured artist The Wild Feathers.

A patchwork of remarkable artists from Austin, Nashville and beyond, The Wild Feathers melds blues, folk, rock and country with a convertible cool and a captivating sense of soul that calls back to classic Skynyrd/CSNY flavors. This is no nostalgia act, however, as the four unique voices of Ricky Young, Joel King, Taylor Burns and Preston Wimberly create timeless melodies with a modern captivation through harmonies that set the soul ablaze.

For their eponymous 2013 debut, The Wild Feathers enlisted Jay Joyce (Cage the Elephant, the Wallflowers, Emmylou Harris) as producer, who pushed the band into an evolutionary excellence in his Nashville studio as they recorded the songs one at a time, mostly live to tape. Ranging from slow-burning heartcrushers to foot-stomping harmonic flurries of overwhelming depth, The Wild Feathers is as beautiful and promising as a debut album could hope to be. Listen to the entire album at Rolling Stone.
