Headphones for Cows

Genre: Rock

3.5 out of 5

Highlights:

We Got All Night

I got nothin’. I’ve run out. This is generic lates 70s/early 80s semi-hard rock.

The title and the album cover suggest something prog but the album is more big rock sound ala Toto. 

The best of the tracks is “Tupelo”, a slow burner that wants to deliver that hard punch but crumbles instead.

These guys love that Allman feel but they don’t have the songs to really take them out of the pie festival. 

The album is perfectly fine but isn’t going to top any charts.

Make it stop. 

Please. Someone go back in time and convince the labels that the better coke is available if they save some money and stop signing boring acts that have no chance of getting on the radio and won’t move any units.

It’s a little bit Southern Rock, a lot boring rock. Think Nitty Gritty Dirt Band but without the songs. 

And they didn’t really have any songs.
