Night Horse - Perdition Hymns
This sophomore release is laid back with a vintage vibe
Laid back and with a vintage vibe, there’s definitely no bolting from the stable where the sophomore release from this Los Angeles lot (who feature ex-Bluebird vocalist Sam James Velde) is concerned. ‘Perdition Hymns’ is the perfect accompaniment to the summer we wish we had, loaded with sun-burnished tracks that recall 70s classic rock such as Muddy Waters, The Allman Brothers Band and Blackfoot at the heart (check out ‘Rollin’ On’). There’s some pretty impressive Thin Lizzy-esque twin lead duelling in ‘Shake Your Blues’ while ‘Same Old Blues’ nods towards the likes of Skynyrd and co. Winner
