Howl

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

A radical pivot from feedback to folk. Dusty acoustic guitars, gospel harmonies, and delta blues stomps recorded with a warm, front-porch intimacy.

The leather-jacket guys went to a cabin in the woods and came back with a gospel-blues masterpiece.

A weary but soulful journey through sin and redemption, delivered with front-porch intimacy.

Moments Worth Waiting For
the sudden burst of multi tracked gospel chanting that opens the record
the gritty harmonica wail that cuts through the stomp of Ain't No Easy Way
the fragile piano melody that anchors the eight minute closing epic
