Gaslight Street is another in a long line of Charleston bands holding promise by the purse strings. Many have swelled, some have crested, but few have broken. But when this band makes it, it will not be due to where they are from, but for what they bring. Blue Skies for Fools is the band's debut, but it's not a first endeavor for these veteran players who emit a laid-back approach to roots music that's like the third bourbon of an all-night bender. Campbell Brown, Jason Stokes, Frank Nelson and Brooks Dubose have bathed in the southeastern music scene and have fished its fertile waters. And this experience, bolstered by maturity beyond the born-on-date, makes Gaslight Street ready for widespread recognition.
