Stone Axe – Stay of Execution
Ripple Music – 2022
Rock, Seventies, Classic, Blues, Psych, Proto, Stoner
Rated: ****

Out with the new, in with the old! It’s Stone Axe and a collection of tracks recorded in that short moment in time when Tony Reed and Dru Brinkerhoff where rocking out together under the Stone Axe name. And gleefully making the March Doom Charts! Classic rock, psychedelic blues, proto metal and even some southern touches here and there and all in absolute stunning form. It’s indeed a classic in every sense of the word and it’s impossible to choose a standout track of the eight present on this Stay Of Execution collection. Or as the honorable Bucky Brown stated on the Ripple Music bandcamp: “Stone Axe’s throwaway tracks are better than most bands greatest hits. Stay Of Execution is a perfect example.” We should give thanks to the Gods of yore (and Ripple Music) for delivering these ‘lost tracks’ on this Stay Of Execution slab of rock… Perhaps we should offer up an animal or two using a stone axe?
