Bosshoss - Electric Horsemen (2CD Deluxe Edition) (CD)
€35,00Quick ViewUusi albumi ja mitkä soundit!
After The BossHoss have recently returned in all new strength, the Berlin country rock outlaws are now back under full power! Together, the septet has refueled its steel horses to let it rip now as ”Electric Horsemen” on its 10th studio album!
Their fans had to wait a good five years for a new album after the last long player, the 2018 released Top 1 disc ”Black Is Beautiful” – now finally the wait is over! On ”Electric Horsemen”, The BossHoss remain true to themselves and their typical high-voltage sound, but also have some completely new style elements with them, which one would definitely not have expected from the formation around Alec ”Boss Burns” Völkel and Sascha ”Hoss Power” Vollmer. On the twelve-track long player, the formation now presents an energetic hybrid style somewhere between sparkling Las Vegas glam, danceable Studio 54 groove and grounded country rock.
Of course, the electric riders have on their new album again plenty of uncompromising live bangers for the upcoming summer tour in the luggage. Like the sparking glam rock bootyshaker ”Dance The Boogie”, the driving hillbilly metal board ”Nice But No”, the gripping feelgood earworm ”Ride With Us” or the powerful country anthem ”Best Friends Forever”.

Stuart Marty - Altitude (CD)
€20,00Quick ViewCountry Music Hall of Famer, five-time Grammy-winner, and AMA Lifetime Achievement honoree Marty Stuart picks up where he left off on Altitude, his first new album in five years, exploring a cosmic country landscape populated by dreamers and drifters, misfits and angels, honky-tonk heroes and lonesome lovers. There’s a desert flare to the music here, a sweeping, spacious feel that conjures up wide-open horizons and endless stretches of two-lane highway, and the production is raw and cinematic to match, tipping it’s cap both to Bakersfield and Laurel Canyon as it balances jangle and twang in equal measure. While it would be easy for an artist as accomplished as Stuart to rest on his laurels, Altitude instead showcases the work of a searcher with an insatiable appetite for growth and reflection, one whose ambition, much like his keen wit and rich imagination, only seems to grow with each and every release. Born and raised in Philadelphia, MS, Stuart got his start in bluegrass legend Lester Flatts’ band at the tender age of thirteen, and by twenty-one, he was working in the studio and on the road with Johnny Cash. Though Stuart built his early reputation backing up royalty, it wasn’t long before Nashville recognized him as a star in his own right, and over the course of forty-plus years as a solo artist, he would go on to release more than twenty major label albums, scoring platinum sales, hit singles, and just about every honor the industry can bestow along the way.

Crowell Rodney - The Chicago Sessions (CD)
€18,00Quick View2023 release. Says Rodney Crowell: ”It’s just me and the band in a room together, loose and live and having fun.” Produced by Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy, The Chicago Sessions is indeed a throwback to Crowell’s early days of making records, but it’s no nostalgia trip. The songs here are vital and timely, touching on everything from love and mortality to race and religion, and the performances are nothing short of intoxicating, fueled by raw guitars, honky-tonk piano, and tight, punchy drums. Tweedy wields a light touch as a producer, his influence subtle yet unmistakable, and engineer Tom Schick’s mixes are dynamic and alive, alternately lush and spacious in all the right places with a spotlight fixed firmly on Crowell’s warm, weathered vocals throughout. Put it all together and you’ve got a masterful, cross-generational collaboration that manages to feel both fresh and familiar all at once, an incisive, engaging collection that balances careful craftsmanship with joyful liberation at every turn.”
