In fact that's so off track as to be downright misleading.This is Southern Rock with a Hard Rock influence to my ears.
This 3 piece from Florida were actually quite similar in style to classic Blackfoot, both in style and lyrical subject matter. If you're a fan of the Jacksonville boogie barons, then this here disc is sure to be right up your street.
From the opening barrage of "Fox Hunting", Blackhorse rarely let the pace or intensity drop, although when they do, as on the sublime "Cannot Find My Way Home", they show what excellent songwriters and musicians they were, swapping the bombast of the harder tracks for a more soulful vulnerability.
This was originally a self produced private pressing, mainly used to promote the band and get live bookings, with the remainder sold at gigs. As such, you'd expect the budgetary constraints of such an endeavour to be apparent in the recordings therein. That is truly not the case here, with the sound & production, putting many major label efforts of the day to shame.
Unfortunately this was the only album they produced, and due to it's obscurity it has only recently, since it's cd reissue, begun to garner the acclaim it always deserved.
A shame, as this is a great disc, and it's creators deserved better. WHY NOT CHECK OUT MY EBAY STORE -
