The latest from British blues rocker and ‘king of the slide guitar’ is The Wings Of Salvation, which boasts 10 cool sounding tracks. The album is lead by the singles “Gasoline”, driving rock of “Sweet Carolina” (the third video/single….vocally reminds me a bit of Brownsville Station, killer solo), and “Come On” — all of which sound & have choruses like they were written to be played for big crowds. But really this album just kicks ass start to finish with Redfern’s guitar sounds, slide work, and vocals, all delivered in a lively production with attitude! He writes memorable tunes and choruses – check out cuts such as “Mercy”, the slow blues of “Dark Religion”, the faster paced rockin “Profane” and “Down”, some neat storytelling within the songs as well. Available on CD, Vinyl LP, and digital formats at Troy Redfern’s site. Dig the cover, drawn by the man himself. Check this out!
