The 1980 Listening Post - Wild Horses - Wild Horses

 Wild Horses - Wild Horses


April 14 1980
Wild Horses
Wild Horses
Genre: Rock
3 out of 5
Ex-Rainbow + Ex-Thin Lizzy = uninspired rock.
I say this a lot but…the songs aren’t there. I don’t think every band has to have great songs. Lord knows Red Hot Chili Peppers don’t. But they establish a lot with how they play.
Maybe it’s a Cuomo chorus. Maybe it’s dynamic Stevie Ray playing? Maybe it’s Brian may’s delicious solo.
Not every song has to be a complete prize. But you really need to have at least one thing that brings me back.
Wild Horses don’t have that.
