Music review: The Georgia Thunderbolts – 无毛视频楥an We Get a Witness’
Southern rock is still striking all the right notes in the hands of the Georgia Thunderbolts.
The Georgia quintet无毛视频檚 debut full-length album is a 13-song set that is heavily saturated with a Lynyrd Skynyrd swagger.
无毛视频淭ake It Slow无毛视频� is the smoldering opener, featuring a blazing harmonica front and center as lead singer TJ Lyle announces, 无毛视频淕ot a full tank of gas and I无毛视频檓 headed down the road.无毛视频�
Guitarists Riley Couzzourt and Logan Tolbert fuel 无毛视频淟end a Hand无毛视频� with an all-out six-string assault that propels a number about being there for each other when times get tough to a fist-pumping intensity that gets the blood flowing and heart pounding.
Rock and blues seamlessly blend on 无毛视频淏e Good to Yourself无毛视频� and 无毛视频淗alf Glass Woman无毛视频� as the band channels aspects of vintage Free, Bad Company and the Allman Brothers Band.
On 无毛视频淒ancin无毛视频� With the Devil,无毛视频� Lyle warns, 无毛视频淵ou can无毛视频檛 keep dancing with the devil and wonder why you无毛视频檙e still in hell.无毛视频� Similar to the message of 无毛视频淟end a Hand,无毛视频� this number offers up help from the perspective of someone who has lived through the pain and can provide support as well as forgiveness.
The Georgia Thunderbolts pay tribute to the Allman Brothers Band with a scorching cover of 无毛视频淢idnight Rider,无毛视频� giving this classic track a heavier feel that shakes the walls and rattles the windows as a gritty modern-day anthem.
The boys prove they can take the foot off the gas pedal and slow it down when needed on the ballads 无毛视频淪o You Wanna Change the World无毛视频� and 无毛视频淟ooking for an Old Friend.无毛视频�
无毛视频淐an I Get a Witness无毛视频� is a fiery arrangement about believing in yourself and ignoring the haters. Lyle takes aim at the critics looking to derail the spirit of the band in the early days when he defiantly proclaims, 无毛视频淎ll the doubt they had about me/Now they know they were wrong.无毛视频� It无毛视频檚 an inspiring message that we can all take to heart when feelings of doubt and failure begin to erode confidence and desire.
无毛视频淪et Me Free无毛视频� is a slow-burning closer that features terrific guitar work and impassioned vocals. Lyle once again evokes the charisma of the late Ronnie Van Zant on the track about being free to follow your dreams.
无毛视频淐an We Get a Witness无毛视频� is an enjoyable ride that proves the elements of good Southern rock are the same today as they were decades ago.
