StoneRider hails from Atlanta and Three Legs of Trouble is their first album and a kick ass one it is. The band has a gritty, raunchy sound that conjures up images of being in a dimly lit, smoke filled bar, pulling back a shot and checking out the women.
When I lived in Boston I frequently a club called ‘The Channel’ and that is exactly the place I would expect to find StoneRider playing on a Friday night. The album starts out in high gear with ‘Rush Hour Baby’, singer Matt Tanner belting out “We’re on a road to nowhere…”, shifting gears into ‘Bad Lovin Never Felt So Good’ where a “one night stand…” is inevitable.
The songs progress along one after the other taking you on a debauchery filled trip. The guitar work is southern tinged, reminding me of Skynyrd’s ‘Gimme Back My Bullets’ leaving no doubt the intent of this album is to get you drunk, lying in an alley, smelling like only a woman can with a wide grin on your face.
