Rate (1-5) :
In the good old tradition of Tom Petty, The Black Crows, Bruce Sringsteen, The Allman brothers band and assorted acts Edgehill Avenue brings you southern rock and Americana that is drenched in the seventies! Utilizing their musicianship to convey the energy and imagery that only solid songwriting can produce the band brings on Rambler eleven tracks to be proud of!
From leading track “Rambler” on until the last song on the album, the Radio edit of “Justified” this album longs to be heard over and over! The combination of Folk, Rock and Country delivers a perfect mix that was common a couple of decades ago, but that is since long forgotten! Tunes like “Just don’t Care anymore”, a true song in the style of the Byrds, the Flying burrito brothers or Gram Parsons, or the edgier alt.country song “How do you feel” are the perfect examples why I like this album so much. Some psychedelic influences are to be found on “Holding On” and with “Out Of Time” the band brings an excellent ballad. Closing down the album is the Radio edit of “Justified”. This one is of course done in a different style and with a little more commercial attitude then the rest and in all honestly it is (probably due to this remix) one of the lesser interesting tunes, but still it is a worthy addition to the album.
“Edgehill Avenue” brings with Rambler, the follow up to their more acoustic debut, an album that mixes influences and styles from a time long forgotten. An era where country, pshych and rock walked hand in hand and southern rock was very influential. Today all these are gone but with Edgehill Avenue we are pleasantly remembered to those bands and know now for sure that younger generations have found out about those forgotten heroes as well.
