Chris Russell's Chicken Walk - Drive (2015) [gnodde]



For those who like their Southern-styled music and know little of Chris Russell’s Chicken Walk, you’re in for a bit of a treat with their release, Drive. These guys have built quite a following in recent times playing Chrississippi Music – basically their own take on Southern blues rock. Don’t let the playful name lead you astray, there’s nothing gimmicky here. These guys execute seriously raw, grimy metallic sounds that are worlds away from new-age sleekness. This is outdoorsy music at its best, complemented by the wolf-like howling of the man at the centre of the picture, Chris Russell.

It takes a few listens to really get to the heart of some tracks – the lyrical genius can get lost as the gritty instrumentals clash with Russell’s howling. However, even purely as background noise, this album gives you some seriously stimulating listening. It’s been a long time since I’ve heard a band produce sounds quite like this, and I like it.
