 Vermilion | The Onion - America's Finest News Source
Though the group has been in existence in one form or another for eight years, Vermilion is the first chance most listeners have had to hear the Continental Drifters.
Almost every member contributes songs, but the group's sound remains largely consistent throughout, a combination of the guitar renaissance of the '80s and the country renaissance of the '90s.
The greatest surprise might be Cowsill: Formerly of the Cowsills, the junior-hippie family band that inspired The Partridge Family, she writes or co-writes some of Vermilion's best songs ("The Rain Song," "Drifters," "Spring Day In Ohio") and sings in a full-throated style reminiscent of Lucinda Williams.

The Continental Drifters enjoyed a spirited return to action at the Howlin Wolf Friday night (okay, it was early Saturday morning before they actually started playing).
Featuring most of the songs that will appear on their new record, "Better Day", the Drifters, normally quite casual and loose at the Wolf, seemed very focused on the performance — perhaps an effect of playing a number of new songs.
The Drifters’ new material offers noticeably less in the way of instrumental breaks and improvisational opportunities than previous work has offered, and the Friday performance mirrored that economical approach.
