Heart Attack Alley - Bootleg

Review by Kenneth Rellum

Heart Attack Alley's album Bootleg is a raw and powerful offering of blues rock that will have listeners hooked from the first note. The New Zealand-based band delivers a gritty and authentic sound that is reminiscent of the greats of the genre. The album is a live recording of the band's performance at Auckland's Whammy Bar, and it captures the energy and intensity of their live shows perfectly.

From the opening track "I Put A Spell On You" to the closing number "Too Hot Blues", every song on Bootleg is a showcase of the band's exceptional musicianship and their ability to capture the essence of the blues. Lead vocalist and guitarist, Callum Gentleman, delivers soulful and emotive vocals that are perfectly complemented by the tight rhythm section of bassist, Joel Vinsen, and drummer, Huw Campbell.

Summary by Kenneth Rellum

The album's standout tracks include "Baby Please Don't Go", a high-energy number that showcases the band's ability to get the crowd moving, and "I'm Your Man", a slow-burning blues ballad that highlights Gentleman's exceptional guitar skills. Bootleg is a must-listen for fans of blues rock and anyone looking for an authentic and electrifying musical experience.
