Independent [Release date : 23.02.24]
This is the Sons of Liberty’s third album in six years. They are not novices.
Are they Southern Rock ?
Hell yes, of course they are, with a band name that suggests ZZ Top meets an outlaw biker gang, and reeks of Americana !
With an album cover that features a bottle of whisky, and several ethereal landscapes which are still legitimately the southern states.
Archetypal southern rock – made in Bristol, England !
Eh ?
Amusingly, many of the tracks begin with a solo guitar riffing, in come the drums and then the ensemble.
“Time to Fly” and “”Turn this Tide” are stalwarts upfront. It may be southern rock, but it has heavy metal tinges, with shades of Black Sabbath as well as Marshall Tucker.
You wont find the band on Wiki. YouTube videos are sparse. They seem to be flying under the radar, and it’s hard to see how this album will change that. However there’s a place for southern party music, for a modern twist on The Outlaws.
“Walk with You” and “Hawk Men Come” turn it down a couple of notches and into mainstream rock. I like this side of the band, with prominent organ in the mix.
Friday night music ! ***
