The songs offer up true gritty and dynamic Rock N Roll with a heavy bluesy edge. Harlis says of the music – “I’m proud that we did this one live with no overdubs. We simply pressed record and played our asses off. We then picked the best of the two or three takes of each song. It’s raunchy and raw and real. I allowed myself the freedom to throw my heart and soul into my guitar playing and singing by leaving in any imperfections, which I feel only added more would and vibe to the songs.” |
