MP3: Grande Roses - I don't wanna get back on that horse again
Grande Roses weren't kidding when they said it might take them another 2.5 years to follow up their debut EP. Lo and behold, here we are exactly that much time later and their sophomore EP "The farm" is finally ready. And again, true to their word, the songs are a touch slower but still full of the same punkrock vigor that made the first record so good. Unsurprisingly, the more varied tempos suits the band well and makes for a much more satisfying listen overall -- just listen to "I don't wanna get back on that horse again" and you'll see what I mean. Most country-rock bores the heck out of me, even the much-revered Gram Parsons (good songs, poor execution -- I'll take the cover versions, thank you), but this is just right. A little bit of jangle, some quality picking and a whole lotta heart. Now I just gotta know: how long until we get an album? 4 years? 5? What's it gonna be?
