Devils Elbow's latest album, Sand On Chrome, is a gritty and soulful collection of tracks that showcases the band's signature blend of blues, rock, and Americana. The album opens with the driving, guitar-heavy "Mountain Song," which sets the tone for the rest of the record. From there, the band takes listeners on a journey through a range of emotions and styles, from the mournful ballad "Borrowed Heart" to the upbeat and danceable "Rattlesnake." Throughout it all, lead singer Alec Withers delivers powerful vocals that are both raw and emotive, backed by the expert musicianship of his bandmates. The album's production is top-notch, with each instrument and vocal track coming through clear and distinct. Sand On Chrome is a standout release from Devils Elbow, and a must-listen for fans of rootsy rock and roll.
