The sound is pure Americana, drawing breath from the Appalachian Mountains and swirling it with the vastness of the American landscape.
It’s a minimalist approach that shows how strong the songwriting is. These melodies don’t need layers of production to shine.
The influences are clear – shades of Dylan and Young flicker throughout – but Thomas manages to forge his own path.
It’s folk music with a shot of alternative rock, a refreshing blend.
The guitar work is particularly impressive. It’s raw and honest as if Thomas is strumming right here in the room.
The subtle double-tracking on his vocals adds a touch of 90s atmosphere, bringing to mind the likes of Blind Melon on certain tracks like “Rainy Day Return.”
The lyrics themselves are introspective and free-flowing, driven by a sense of pure instinct.
A standout track is “Wander, Wander, Struck.” The guitar riff is pure gold, and the melody leans into a psychedelic, nostalgic vibe that’s undeniably catchy.
Every song on this album feels solid, and demonstrates Thomas’ talent and the Merrymakers’ tight musicianship.
“Let the Arrow Fly” is a hidden gem, a record that rewards repeated listens. It’s a great discovery for anyone who craves roots rock with a modern twist.

Real!
Chris Thomas writes and records all the sounds you hear! And The Merrymakers are the fans!
I believe this album kinda spurred off itself I did demos them recorded over a lot of it again with double takes and changed and added lyrics here and there and definitely tried to develop a original sound to the vocals.
