Listen to The Narrator

Chicagoans The Narrator are packing their bags for a fall tour in support of their latest album, All That to the Wall. In case you haven't heard them yet, preview the two tracks below. The first, Son of the Son of the Kiss, is the album's opening track and starts out with some groovadelic guitar riffs that will bring back the British invasion fresh in your mind. The second, All the Tired Horses, is a cover of the opening track for Bob Dylan's mystifying double album Self Portrait. You have to give them some props for tackling such a song.
