'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 hear 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 sentimental. 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 softer
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 blues orientated than some of the other tracks though they nearly over compensate for that with the next track 'Piece of Mind' which is very like the Black Crowes

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 Tennessee 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.
