The Overlords of the Cosmic Revelation
$14.98
Vinyl LP pressing. 2015 studio album from Shooter Jennings' guitarist and cast member of A&E's Crazy Hearts: Nashville. This highly acclaimed songwriter goes full blown space truckin' rock with hints of classic '60s psychedelic fuzz to create an alt country album unlike anything on the planet - witness the melodic stomp of 'Time Flies' or the hard boogie of 'King Kong'! "Half his riffs smell like beer and honky-tonks, while the other half sound like redneck cousins of Led Zeppelin" - Guitar Player Magazine. "Powell looked like a total cosmic snakeskin cowboy up to the feather in his black hat... they played occasionally prog-leaning 16th-not boogie metal that flashed back to Cactus, Mountain, and Seventies Ted Nugent and ZZ Top. So, when they sang about shaking hands with the devil and being born in a desert tornado and killing a six-pack just to watch it die and driving 90 miles an hour down dead-end streets, their instruments supported those claims". - Rolling Stone.
