(2013) Untamed Beast by Sallie Ford and the Sound Outside

Portland based Sally Ford and the Sound Outside can be described as having a vintage sound.  They have a bluesy vibe too.  Call it what you will this is good stuff.  It's recorded well but yet still sounds vintage.  You may think from the vintage sound that it's lame or docile, it's anything but; some tracks sound more rockabilly than vintage rock.  Sadly, all good things must come to an end.  Per a post on their wikipedia the band has broken up as of late December 2013.

Wikipedia:  According to singer Seth Avett of The Avett Brothers, Ford's songs have that "rare quality of somehow combining fun with emotional and artistic integrity" and she "fills the room with it" and reminds him of the "energy of early rock 'n' roll."^[2] The group opened for The Avett Brothers and recorded a five-song EP entitled Not an Animal.^[2] Ford's voice has been compared to Ella Fitzgerald, Tom Waits,Billie Holiday, with possible influences from Bessie Smith and Snoop Dogg,^[2] and used the words "two-step big beat gospel" to describe the effect.

On December 17, 2013, the band announced that they would separate after 4 final shows. They will close with a pair of shows at the Doug Fir Lounge.
