Boneyard Dog
Bluebound Train

We find ourselves on a bluesbound train with some guys that have a long history in music. The quartet called Boneyard Dog has tons of musical experience and they are putting that to work when creating their debut album. The band may be debuting but guys like Tony Carey and Ron Wikso probably doesn’t need any introduction and founding members Rob Mancini and Davy Kerrigan are no newcomers either, together these guys create a classically styled blues rock album bound for the blues.

Stylewise they are not that interesting, their rock music feels very familiar and at first I thought it was too familiar and not particularly good. But this is an album that grows on you, where you discover new depths for each time you play the album. The production is very good and I can see that there is lots of merit in this album, despite its lack of originality. I would describe it as these guys have taken their knowledge and gathered it to create a really strong blues-rock album.

I always enjoy it when a tired old genre gets a spark of life from a band that takes the best parts of the genre and makes it work, perhaps one last time. I would recommend this album mainly to fans of blues-rock but I think most fans of music will enjoy this album thanks to its great songs and great melodies. You who are not fans of blues-rock might need to play the album a few times to really get into it. The best tracks are Lonely Road, the title track and the ending Boneyard Dog, these stands a little above the other good tracks on this album.

I think this is a rather strong album, all the songs are of a high calibre and besides not being very original I don’t think the album has any weaknesses. I enjoy this album, it is a very good one and I recommend that you check it out as I think it is well worth giving it some time.
