The Indulgers are a local band that combines Scottish, Irish and American musical styles into a fantastic new sound. Composed of five artists with a wide variety of musical influences, The Indulgers have created an amalgamation that has a distinctive Celtic sound, with elements of folk, rock and jazz thrown in for good measure. St. Patrick`s Day has passed, but if you`re still in the mood for a little music from Ye Olde Country, don`t miss their show at Nissi`s

The Indulgers add guitar player from…... Fleetwood Mac?

A.V. Club Denver/Boulder reports that Boulder’s house band, The Indulgers — you’ve seen them at Conor O’Neill’s, the 29th Street Mall and plenty of public events in the Denver area — have added Neale Heywood to their permanent lineup. Heywood has played music for a long time, including as a support guitarist in Fleetwood Mac, as you’ll read in this comic-sans bio on fleetwoodmac.net that also somehow incorporates Alice in Chains.

“Out of the West” is the sixth CD release from The Indulgers, a Colorado-based band who comes from serious Celtic roots, as displayed in their stable of recordings. The CD continues this Celtic influence, though here it is mixed liberally with some Western-oriented motifs
(thus the name of the CD) and driving rock/pop sounds, as well.

Though the Celtic sounds are harder to hear in some songs than in
others, they do run through the CD. In songs like “Wildfire” or 
“Western Justice Town”  the familiar sounds are easier to hear,
but even those songs which veer farthest away from the familiar
Celtic (“Mission Man, for example”) are still very well done and very entertaining to listen to. The rhythms, whether Celtic or rock/pop
have a tendency to make one’s feet tap happily.

The CD overall is an homage to the attitude and atmosphere that
were the Old West and to the influence that our Irish ancestors 
had on it. All in all, it is a solid addition to their body of work
and a CD that lovers of  Celtic tunes will enjoy their tour through.
