We’ll keep posting the Top 10 of last week. Because once again we listened to a lot of different albums, but had limited time to really dive into them. We also listened to some more podcasts than usual. Like the Doomed & Stoned, Hour Of The Riff & Deathrattle Podcast. And thanks to Reek of STOOM we even had our own Hums Of The HiVe. Check out his recent ones HERE! But anyway, the 10 bands listed above released something good and it will definitely continue to get a lot of spins! So check’m out! Check’m all out!

Brass Owl – State of Mind

Brass Owl – State of Mind

Honk-E-Fonk / Self released / Dewar PR – 2020

Rock, Hard, Stoner, Southern, Blues

Rated: ****

The album sounds like it has a definite purpose. Invigorating that old bluesy, southern hard rock sound! Twisting it up with bits of stoner and something that sounds wickedly funky and even some gospel swing or psychedelic meandering. It’s a statement this new State Of Mind album by Brass Owl. Of purpose and intent indeed, bold, brave and bourbon soaked. You would assume Nashville roots or Texan ancestry, but the boys are from Cincinnati Ohio and bring forth a rusty and worn sound that reveal a definite love for the old blues legends and the roots rock of yore. Hoka Hey chimes in there reminiscent of some Appalachian folk music and gives the album even more character. The guitar crackles, pierces, purses and squeezes and almost everywhere the vocals shine through with authority. And it works brilliantly, cause even if the range is limited, you believe every intense and fiercely fought confession or universal truth that is uttered. Brass Owl, my admiration for this simple, sleek hard rocking blues record keeps growing with every listening session. And there will be many to come!
