Monday, a new week, time for the "Record Of The Week".
"Bury The Hatchet" is the second full-length album by the Auburn, California’s SHOTGUN SAWYER. The album was released on April 19th by Ripple Music.
SHOTGUN SAWYER is a raw, blues-infused rock n' roll band that consists of the bassist Brett "The Butcher" Sanders, guitarist/vocalist Dylan Jarman, and drummer David Lee. They teamed up in January of 2015 with the intent to revive and reimagine the musical styles of Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf, treading similar ground to LED ZEPPELIN, ZZ TOP, and BLACK SABBATH.
The result is a thundering, passionate, toe-tapping, knee-slapping and unique mixture of tasty bass grooves, crunchy riffs, searing guitar solos, and powerful vocals, all underpinned by virtuosic drumming. This is rock n' roll the way it was meant to be played.
"Bury The Hatchet" is a 9 track bluesy album with a big spectrum from the opening uptempo "Aint Trying To Go Down Slow" that has a groove that makes it hard to sit still in the boat, follows up with another groovy high octane rocker "(Let Me) Take You Home", the tune slows down a bit and gives us a lovely bluesy distorted solo. "Backwoods Bear" is an old school acoustic blues number with a great stomp. The gear hits the next level in "You Got To Run", where the distorted riffing get a place in the sun. The dreamily somber "Son Of The Morning" is a real beauty, fat and slow riffs along with a soulful voice make this a high note on the album. In the next tune "Hombre" the guys give a nod to ZZ TOP with this blues rocker. Another heavy blues piece is "When The Sun Breaks" with great guitar handling. The album closes up with heavy bass licks in blues rocker "Shallow Grave". "Bury The Hatchet" is an album full of soul-burning blues that will sort any BBQ out this summer or a long car drive up to the north.
Sum: An excellent heavy blues rocker that should not be missed.
