Airbourne - Runnin' Wild
Our amps really go to eleven on this one. Right, its been a while since this album broke onto the scene and stirred up trouble. Most people already know about Airbourne, but it wouldn't be right to continue this blog without including them. For you unfortunate souls who haven't had the pleasure of getting your face blown off, listen to this album at full volume. To say that this album is completely comprised of in-your-face power ballads would be a horrible understatement. Its painfully good. The kind of good that feels like getting kicked in the balls repeatedly before being doused in Jack Daniels, lit on fire, and left for dead on the street corner. Every single track is a high energy party from start to finish, but first listen to Cheap Wine & Cheaper Women, and then BlackJack. Buy it.
Track 6 - Blackjack
Dirty Sweet - ...Of Monarchs And Beggars
This album could have been produced in the mid 70's...honestly...so easy. Good clean southern rock & roll that will make you bounce or swing. The first two tracks on the album are about as different as can be, but both do exactly what they should. Album opens with their single, an explosive riff-heavy head banger called Baby Come Home. Immediately following is Delilah, a down tempo swinger with some gripping harmonies. Have a listen, you might find that its a healthy mix of Skynrd and the Doobies. Dirty Sweet's website. Buy It.
