Red Clay Strays Electrify Tiny Desk With Southern Soul and Swampy Swagger

When Brandon Coleman of the Red Clay Strays opens his mouth, it’s like Johnny Cash wandered into a gospel-tinged Southern rock revival — and stayed for the harmonies. But make no mistake: this isn’t a one-man show. With Drew Nix shaking things up, Sevans Henderson trading keys for electricity with Zach Rishel, and John Hall’s thunderous restraint on drums, every song — from “Ramblin’” to “Wanna Be Loved” — is a front-row seat to magic in motion.
