Music reviews of Howlin Rain
Music Review: Oh my goodness...
Rating: 5 Stars
I bought this based on the reviews comparing it to 60's and 70's rock, and because the band has ties to Comets on Fire (who I really dig).
I was expecting something 60's and 70's...
What I got, was something wholly different.
This is the most original and new sounding album I've heard in a long time. It's progressive folk rock, if there is such a thing. The solo on "Calling Lightning" can be tough to deal with the first time through, but by my third listen, I found tears welling up in my eyes every time it roars through my speakers. This is absolutely awesome and totally original, and if you're open to trying new things you should definitely pick this up. I DO NOT skip any tracks when I listen to this album. I'm trying to think of anything negative to warn people about, but I really can't find anything. If you're looking for the 60's and 70's this will shock and frighten you. If you were born way too late for the 60's and 70's, but appreciate the music from that time period, then you may want to check this out. It is NOT about nostalgia, but about pushing the limits of folk rock music. This album rocks. It rocks hard at times. I won't bother making comparisons, because this DOES NOT compare to anything else out there. Listen to it, if only to find out what a band this original sounds like. Most bands have a strong comparison that can be drawn, but there really is not one for Howlin' Rain. A totally new kind of monster in the music community. I can't wait for their next album.
