The Southern heroes, or the wild bunch of Jim Dandy are back with a new album and what a surprise, they deliver good Southern rock in spades. BOA are something a lot of the new Southern fans don’t really know. The whiskey soaked voice of Jim Dandy along with the more straight rock orientation of his music, and the addition of the female vocalist and the origins who goes back to the 60s, makes the whole package special. In his new album he pays tribute to the lost heroes of rock music in ‘‘Channeling spirits’’ and writes Southern Gothic love stories as in the classic BOA ’’The devils daughter’’ with the help of Sammy B. Seauphine making it special. In other songs BOA are just mean and nasty like να
’’Arkansas medicine man’’, or sensitive, as the mountain boys know at the emotionally charged hymn to the redhaired “Ruby’s heartbreaker‘‘ and the passionate and heartbroken ‘‘You told me you love me‘‘ .
A powerful Southern heavy rock album from a band old as almost rock n roll itself and still alive and well to deliver the goods to the newest generations.
