| Four Thirty Review
The Big Takeover April, 2007 |
The Great Crusades Four Thirty (Innocent Words) More gritty and bluesy whiskey rocking than their previous albums, The Great Crusades break out the cowbell and honky down into the swamplands with some good old American rock ‘n’ roll storytelling. Reflecting the energy of their live shows, this album grinds and kicks through a twisted road map of love and lust, making me want to drive the highways, with a pack of smokes, a bottle of bourbon, and The Great Crusades blaring out the speakers of a flat black 1964 Cadillac. There are a couple of velvet soaked songs, like the sadly smooth Tom Waits touched “She Walked Alone”, and some moments that slip towards a more straightforward Sixteen Horsepower vibe, but on the whole, this album goes down like a nice strong shot. more press |
