Genre: Rock
Yet another shattering monster from this dedicated Toledo, Ohio four-some. Embracing heavy, chugging blues riffs ala ZZ Top meets Lynyrd Skynyrd, FHJ explode into their fifth platter with both barrels blazing. "Cherry Red" goes right for the throat with a simple, intoxicating groove built around more of a '70s respect than a carbon copy. Eric Oblander's vocals flourish under the augmentation of "Three At A Time" and "B.C. Approved" sounding more the part of a whisky-soaked croaker in a Mississippi juke joint. The guttural "Cry Rain" and the funk of "Sweetwater" show the band in fine form with Brad Coffin's solos echoing back to the classic Nugent/ Schenker delivery. Yet, it is Oblander's leap as a blues singer in "Soul Digger," with the Polish of a slick harmonica lick, that capitalizes on the band's time spent opening for R.L. Burnside and makes their foray into swamp blues far more legitimate. "Yer Mountain" also makes dynamic use of the harmonica stain etched into a rightful bass-driven groove courtesy of Steve Smith and powerhouse drummer Mike Alonso. "Love 2 Lose" and "Blood Don't Pay" are riff-happy sing-along favorites but it's the wooly "Sawmill" that meets the devil in both lyrics and a lava-rutted guitar. Bringing to life a respected black history fused with urgent, bone-crushing hard rock Five Horse Johnson just may be the new millennium's Canned Heat. Five Horse Johnson make you glad to be alive
