Hundred-word Reviews for September 2019, Part 1

By Bill Kopp, September 19, 2019 

Below is an excerpt from Musoscribe’s “Hundred-word Reviews” featuring The 40 Acre Mule’s, Goodnight & Good Luck:

“Time was, music wasn’t sliced and diced into subgenres. Today’s best country, blues, r&b, soul and rock artists can all trace their musical lineage back to artists doing important work in the early ’50s (you know their names by now). 40 Acre Mule draws from the same tradition, but does so as if all those subgenres never came about. It’s just straight-ahead, hard-charging whatever-you-wanna-call-it. This album should appeal equally to fans of the Misfits, Johnny Cash, John Hiatt, Otis Redding, JD McPherson, Led Zeppelin and Elvis. Look elsewhere for subtlety, these guys have come to rock. And also to roll.”
