BLACKHORSE-BLACKHORSE-

As this 3 piece Texas based outfit selfproduced and pressed this obscure masterpiece, one could only wonder? How does the musicindustry really works? This is one of history´s most underrated albums of all time. The blend of Hard/blues/boogie/Southern rock is just aiming straight for the heart… and man…  doesn´t the Arrows hit bulls Eye!!!

This is a production wetdream with great interaction between the harmony singing down to the guitars and solos. I can´t find much to complain about so, this is a double thumbs up. A very solid and great soundin` album with strong songs. Even the slow cooking intro in ” Cannot find my way home” just fits the bill like icecream on a hot summers day. Splendid songwriting.

Whatabout the drummer, John Teague?? This fellow must have been moulded into the drummers seat with this outfit. There are splendid striking abilities with strong Dynamics and mature interaction together with the bass. The hitratio is impressive with a hard and determind drive. The technical skills are up there with the best from the time period and there´s never a loss for “action” playing. This is a very good drummer and fits this band like a fish to water!! Very Very good!! 🙂

As this album was a selfpressed story, moster to be send to promoters and to sell at gigs,  there are few good original copies left to find at a bargain price. But if you are into American Hard/blues/boogie/Southern rock albums in the style of Blackfoot and Molly Hatchet this is a piledriver for sure. Don´t hesitate to put up top dollars, it will be Worth the pricetag. Otherwise there are reissues for half the price and it sounds as good as the original.The bonus part is that there are more Money over for beer to enjoy this dinosaur record!! Mighty Work!!  🙂
