Backbooth
Most know Seven Mary Three from their 1995 breakthrough debut American Standard and the iconic single “Cumbersome” which continues to receive tons of airplay on rock radio to this day. Those in the know see the band a bit differently.
They are drawn to Jason Ross’ powerful and often introspective songwriting, to his distinctive voice, and to an impressive catalog of Seven Mary Three songs developed over seven records and a fifteen year career. This side of the band is captured on Backbooth, a live acoustic record captured in 2008 at a private show for the band’s most passionate fans. Backbooth documents Seven Mary Three in its’ simplest form–great songs, mostly acoustic instrumentation, and an intimate setting.
In addition to classic Seven Mary Three songs (“Lucky”, “Wait”), the record includes previously unreleased (“Untitled”) and rare (“Don’t Walk With the Devil”) gems from their catalog, and a stunning cover of Otis’ Reddings “That’s How Strong My Love Is”.
