Band: Black Paisley

Title: Rambler

Year: 2020

Label: Black Paisley


Already the first riff of opening track ”Damned” makes you sense a smell of diesel. Straight ahead, uncomplicated, hard driving blues based hard rock ‘n roll. If the season had been right for it, this one would crave on open cab and a motorway. A very nice start on Swedish hard rockers Black Paisley’s third effort. The band features former Electric Boys guitarist Franco Santunione. Stefan Blomqvist handles the other guitar and lead vocals, Jam Emanuelsson plays bass and behind the drums we find Robert Kazari. The album was mixed by Deathwitch/Dundertåget/Imperial State Electric/Humbucker man Robert Pehrsson and it the sound is fat and nice. “Without Us” continues in the same vein, but with a slightly more radio friendly and melodic chorus, which also applies to the next track – “Higher Love”. There’s something familiar with the lead vocals, which I at first couldn’t pin point. Then I realized, he actually reminds me of Y&T’s Dave Meniketti in his med and lower register. A great thing in my book! “Save The Best” keeps the pace up and “Timeless Child” shows no traces of slowing down. All in all this is a great, rocking, power rocker with great melodies I can recommend!
