I\u2019m hearing \u201870s Seeger\u2019s nostalgia and lyrical insights and that\u2019s never a bad thing.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Icarus\u2019 also explores the wise life of musicians who are perhaps chased by ghosts of ambition, as the Greek myth character\u2019s story highlights, but have survived to live a content life.<\/p>\n<p>Album highlights are the killer \u2018Midnight Woman\u2019, which calls on the spirits of a soulful Deep Purple, an organ joining in the fun to deliver this blizzard of driving sound, which serves to both ground the album in classic territory and elevate it to a wider audience with a blues-rock leaning. The track is swiftly followed by the frenetic and beautifully controlled \u2018Break These Chains\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>On an on-repeat album, \u2018Born To Do\u2019 is one of the best songs on \u2018Whomp Whack Thunder,&#8217; giving Kenny Roger\u2019s Gambler and Bob Dylan picking energy, putting forth the absolute that Whiskey Myers is doing exactly what they and us need \u2013 putting out honest music that reverberates throughout the soul.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Whiskey Myers - Born To Do (Official Audio)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Jo-vvW9yZM0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>But the album isn\u2019t finished yet, as the blues guitar ballad \u2018Rock N Roll\u2019, with its poetic lyricism and polished musicianship narrates the story of this beloved genre through a unique literary perspective; listen carefully to the character in the songwriting.<\/p>\n<p>The hard work of the band is the subject of \u2018Ramblin\u2019 Jones\u2019, celebrating their 18 years of music through this hammer of a song; they can\u2019t help but enjoy the road.\u00a0 And it\u2019s time for that long-overdue UK tour, lads.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Credit: Wiggy Thump Records<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Track list:<\/strong> 1.
