I’ve got some more lengthy album reviews coming up soon, but it’s also nice now and then to make a quick post on something that gets dropped in my inbox. Today it’s a solid little roots-rock number from Beau Jennings, lead singer of Cheyenne, off his upcoming debut solo album Holy Tulsa Thunder. Innovative chord structures, wacky instruments, and odd tempos certainly have their place, but there’s also something intensely satisfying about some good old-fashioned no-frills rock and roll.
Holy Tulsa Thunder – Beau Jennings
You can probably guess what this track sounds like just from the title. This is music that can only truly sound at home in a bar or blasting from old, crackling speakers on a long dusty stretch of road on a hot summer night.
