LIMITED TOUR EDITION.
GREAT WESTERN VALKYRIE is the fourth studio album by American rock band Rival Sons. The album, which is the first to feature new bass player Dave Beste (in place of founding member Robin Everhart), was released in June 6, 2014. Limited two CD Tour Edition contains six bonus rare tracks. The tracks on Disc Two includes a pair of tracks taken from the GREAT WESTERN VALKYRIE sessions plus recorded in Norway at the famous Juke Joint Studios. Includes the sought after covers of Humble Pie (''Black Coffee'') and Creedence Clearwater Revival (''Long As I Can See the Light''). GREAT WESTERN VALKYRIE is the first to feature new bass player Dave Beste, who replaced founding member Robin Everhart who went on to form the band Ark & Saw. Robin Everhart, the Rival Sons' founding bassist, left in late October of 2013, deciding that the grueling rigors of touring weren't for him. The band replaced him with Dave Beste in time to record the band's fourth full-length. Rival Sons have doubled down on their worship of late-'60s psych, blues-rock, and hard rock because of the lockdown groove in drummer Michael Miley's interplay with Beste, a much more straight-ahead rock bassist. The group has manifested most of these before, but not in this way. In their songwriting and arrangements, they recombine these influences in sometimes startling new ways. Even the most sprawling, psych-oriented tracks have excellent riffs, while most of the hard rockers and boogies contain hooks and multiple textures. Force is never sacrificed. Opening single "Electric Man" is unabashed in its Led Zeppelin IV proclivities, but "Good Things" evokes the Zombies Of Odessey and Oracle with harder-edged guitars and fatter drums. "Secret," led by Beste's bass throb and Scott Holiday's thundering guitar vamp, makes room for guest keyboardist Ikey Owens (Mars Volta) on organ. "Open My Eyes" opens with a vamp worthy of Black Sabbath, but it becomes a gritty, near country-rocker with phased drum kit. The transcendent Pete Townshend-esque guitar chords that serve as the intro to "Belle Starr" give way to a crunchy slide riff, then an open, spacious psychedelia. It changes shape several times before the close with a woolly, dirty-assed bassline and Zep-style rhythmic syncopations. The proggy blues in the intro to "Destination On Course" is a fine showcase for Jay Buchanan's croon atop brooding guitars and a swelling menace in the rhythm section. This holds sway until a female backing chorus (Kristen Rogers) enters, and things come completely off the rails in Wagnerian mind-melting psych. GREAT WESTERN VALKYRIE continues to revel in retro-rock, but it does so with fine songwriting, arrangements, and (above all) taste added to the instrumental firepower. Combined, these strengths make this a full step up from Head Down.
PERSONNEL: Jay Buchanan — vocals; Scott Holiday — guitar; Dave Beste — bass guitar; Michael Miley — drums; Mike Webb, Ikey Owens — keyboards; Kristen Rogers — backing vocals.
Magnificent, timeless album featuring Jay Buchanan's distinctive powerful vocals at their best, packed full of irresistable hooks and instantly memorable riffs, and brimming with the raw energy and passion that have made the band one of the hottest acts around. Forthcoming single, "Open My Eyes", is a wonderful introduction and sums up the entire album perfectly; a raucous blend of genuine soul, gutsy groove and their trademark sunshine-soaked blues-rock. The soundtrack to your summer of 2014 is here!
