Imagine if Johnny Cash, Bob Marley and Joan of Arc were one woman. Now, imagine that woman gathering a band of eclectic musicians on a crusade to expand the bounds of Country music. The Evangenitals, founded by playwright/ director Juli Crockett and opera, jazz & gospel singer Lisa Dee are an alt-country/ Americana genre-bending, ever-creating force of nature. Moby Dick: or, The Album, is a musical swirl of immaculately crafted songs, each interpreting an aspect of Melville's masterpiece with an approach that tacks between intricate arrangement and the deceptively simple country-inflected tunes for which the band is best known. At times the songs are lushly poetic, at others, coarsely powerful. Guests include folk legend Jim Kweskin, acclaimed avant-garde performer Dorian Wood, composer Jeremy Zuckerman (Avatar: The Last Airbender and recent #1 iTunes Soundtrack, Legend of Korra), among others
