'The Decade of Decay' is their latest release, a 10 track album that's
mixture of blusey, southern hard rock songs and big 80's style ballads
will surely have something for everyone.
We kick of with 'It's about time', the best song to start with. Sets the
tone for the album very well. Great chorus, proper hard rock.
The ballads on the album are great. Very rare to here a good ballad now
a days. 'The one that got away' is superb. Gary's vocals and the guitar
solo's add an edge to the song which stops it being too mushy and snetimental.
I hesitate to include 'Cobwebs in my soul' as a ballad, as though it starts
of slower it becomes quite heavy , it stands out as being different from
the rest of the album. One tiny criticism, this is a good song, but the
electric guitar riffs after the quiter vocals at the beginning sound a
little out of place and take away from the music in the background and
from the emotion in Gary's voice.
'Locked and Loaded' relies heavily on the skills of guitarists Jeff and
Bryan, it's less bluesy than some of the other tracks though they nearly
over compenstate for that with the next track 'Piece of Mind'
After listening to that CD I feel like I have mystically transported back
to a time, when rock music was heavy and men had lots of hair. It appears
that Tennesse bad boys Voodoo Moonshine have no regard whatsoever for
current musical trends... which is excellent in my opinion. They know
what they are and they are not afraid to play true hard and heavy rock,
the way it was meant to be.
