It's been a long, long time since I turned on the radio and heard something that jumped out as a "gotta have it" thing, y'know?
Anyway, I got my first taste of Rival Sons' latest album "Great Western Valkyrie" this morning and I gotta say, next time I'm downtown I'm buying this disc right away.
Like I say, it's weird I haven't felt this feeling for so long. I mean I've gotten excited about online releases and whatever but to hear something at random on the radio and think "yes, this is something I need" has been a while :lol:
Here's the track I heard this morning:

"
Modern day Zeppelin. Awesome.

NAILED IT.
Diggin' it. In the middle of the song now and couldn't wait, had to post this immediately.
Reminds me of how I felt when I first heard "The Sheepdogs" -- I thought it was a rediscovered classic* rock song from 30+ years ago 8)
*sorry, I mean "boogie rock" (lol@wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sheepdogs))
I would expect they put on a hella good live show, too!

Quote from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rival_Sons#Musical_style_and_influenceI can not disagree at all!
Reviewing the band's album Head Down for the BBC Greg Moffitt described the group's sound as "electrifying blend of Led Zeppelin, Free, Bad Company, Deep Purple, The Doors and a dozen others to exhilarating new heights.
I would expect they put on a hella good live show, too!

I know right!
It gives me some hope that rock and roll ISN'T dead, that good sounds can still happen in the mainstream. And like I say I'm still in awe that I heard it through the sludge pump that is local mainstream radio

I picked up the album yesterday and I've been enjoying it all morning. This is my summer soundtrack I think :-)

Hows the consistency A? Found their previous album a little all over the place. Some great tunes along with some real crap that sounded from a totally different band.

This album has a lot more standout tracks, there are one or two tunes that could have been changed up to make it better but still a good listen
