Featuring members of The Quireboys and Down ‘n’ Outz, this powerhouse collective has poured their hearts and souls into their debut album, 'Cowboys In Pinstriped Suits', out now via Off Yer Rocka Recordings. This is more than just a record; it’s a raw testament to the unbreakable spirit of rock.
From the opening salvo of ‘Lie to Me’, ‘Medicine’ and ‘Foolin’ Yourself’ the listener is immediately transported back to the glory days of good time rock and roll. All three songs with their catchy hooks, riff and melodies are instant ear worms that hark back to early 70’s Rolling Stones or early Black Crowes records.
With ten original songs composed by Guy Griffin and Paul Guerin and one cover of Mink Deville’s ‘Savoir Faire’, the band cover a wide range of subject matter relating to their personal and shared experiences of the music industry and friends lost on ‘Cowboys In Pinstriped Suits’.
There isn’t a bad track on ‘Cowboys In Pinstriped Suits’ and it is hard to pick out highlights such is the quality of the song writing and the musicianship contained on it. However the classic blues rock vibe and big chorus on ‘Dig Me Out of This Hole’ makes it a personal favourite as is the sombre and poignant ‘Can’t Put Your Arms Around a Memory’.
Put simply, ‘Cowboys In Pinstriped Suits’ is a joyous explosion of good time rock and roll.
