NASHVILLE PUSSY – From Hell To Texas

Bring out your guns and saddle your horse because it’s time to ride back into the bluesy environment of the Wild West. This trip will lope through the new Stony Rock N’ Roll figure of Nashville Pussy that came all the way From Hell To Texas loaded with the best eras of pure Rock. The foursome group of Nashville Pussy has been riding together since 1996 and on their way to being the western types of 2009, they switched images on the road. Until the latest release, From Hell To Texas, Nashville Pussy discharged four albums that proudly displayed the true meaning of solid stone Rock N’ Roll and Hard Rock in the quality of the 70s and early 80s eras all done with a near nonsense attitude and profound snickers by the side of the highway.

With the new feature presented on From Hell To Texas, Nashville Pussy chose one of the glorious topics that touches the hearts of the American people as it is a remembrance of long ago stories and tales of gunslingers, dirty games of life and death, lots of booze, women and the most important – good times.

In comparison to their previous record, Get Some, the present release is something rather special yet it suited these guys and ladies’ music like a glove. Through the ingenious clicking, low gained, bluesy and stony style of music, the dangers and good times of these past old days seemed to become a close reality while this baby spins through one’s head.

Nashville Pussy applied some rather dirty Rockin tunes to the side of some solid blues and “Ho-Down” like chants. Nevertheless, the album starts with the bang of the bullet and for some reason it starts toppling down when it reaches its middle length all through the bitter end. The conclusion is a small line of weaker tracks drenched in the mud. The only track that leaves a well-deserved impression, in contrast to the others, is the great rocking basin of “Why Why Why”. That is like a pure resemblance to some great rocking tunes of the good old 70s, for those who don’t recognize those classic years, it’s time to check that era out and this album can serve as a reminder. However, tracks such as “Gimme A Hit Before I Go”, “Pray For The Devil” and “Stone Cold Down” turned out to be let downs. The latter is quite a nice tune with many Blues aspects that leave something positive behind and even refreshing, when compared to other albums on today’s scene.

Overall, it seems as if there is a long way to go until this number expires. A positive factor that runs through the album is the band’s consistency; they did not step aside from the general theme and kept on going steady from top to bottom.

Reaching to the more successful zones of the album, there are several good enjoyable tracks that have the potential to become future classics. The leader of this stony squad is “Drunk Driving Man”, an ultra-Hard Rocking jam with a flowing chorus. Dragging after it comes out “Speed Machine” – a high influenced 70’s killer, watch this one go to town second to none. “From Hell To Texas” – a somewhat speedster with cool tunes of Rock and amazing solos of class, somewhere on the road for these guys it’s a good day to die in a Rock N’ Roll band. “I’m So High” – a raving stony Hard Rocker with resemblance to Aerosmith’s older material before they got trenched by MTV. “The Late Great USA” and “Ain’t Your Business” are something of the same breed and come out guns blazing.

From Hell To Texas is a nice album of sheer western Hard Rock/Rock attitude made by an artistic band of experienced boys and girls. This one is number five for Nashville Pussy and even though it could have been better; it’s still a good feature of its kind.
