Customer Reviews
from someone who doesnt get excited about music
I got this album after a friend made me, and I can't stop listening to it! Its worth the price just for the first two tracks alone - unpretentious, rocking, modern blues at its absolute best coupled with fantastic lyrics telling of ripping yarns and heartbreak. Don't just get this, get The Throes too - Crow Jane and Nothing to You on that makes me glad I was alive to hear them. I bought tickets to a small UK gig and went from loving these album to near obsession - to see someone play with such passion and enjoyment rip roaring guitar riffs has brought me out of my musical scepticism - maybe the girls aloud of the day haven't won yet!
Americana but don't let that put you off
Any music lover will know that Americana was trauled and re-trauled to great success by The Band [Bob Dylan's band]. Conjuring up all those images of the deep south might seem a bit old hat now but Two Gallants have more bristle than a stiff brush and carry it off well.
'Las Cruces Jail'is a shameless soundtrack to a spaghetti western, but 'Steady Rollin', 'Long Summer Day' and 'The Prodigal Son', harp back but still manage to remain as relevant as Bright Eyes' political rambling.
Whereas Soledad Brothers manage to stay out there in their own league, this bluesy act somehow crosses over into the arty domain of compatriots such as The Strokes or Yeah Yeah Yeahs, without ever sounding all New Yorker chic. The NME jumping on board might help this image but Two Gallants can stand alone without press and I imagine they would sell records.
Stand out tracks: Las Cruces Jail, Long Summer Day, Age Of Assasins
