Texas Hippie Coalition - Ride on - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The 2023 album by Texas Hippie Coalition is another hard hitting collection of great songs from beginning to end. Kicking off with the first single InchHell Hounds,Inch THC proves this dog hunts right out of the gate. Texas Hippie Coalition is often compared to the many great Southern Rock and Texas bands that came before them. But they are proving to the world that THC is not just following in the footsteps, they are leaving giant footprints. Not only is the band etching out a place for themselves in the multi-genre fields of music, they have created their own genre in 'Red Dirt Metal'. You have to hear it to understand it. Album Tracks 1. Hell Hounds 2. I Come from Dirt 3. Built for the Road 4. Scream 5. Hard Habit 6. Believe 7. License to Kill 8. Keep My Name Out of Your Mouth 9. I Teach Angels How to Fly 10. The Name Lives on

2020 . Pop on Floor It!!!, the second full-length effort from the Texas Gentlemen, and prepare your eardrums to be hit with everything from woozy, brass-fueled Dixieland-style jazz ('Veal Cutlass'), to slinky, chicken-scratch country funk ('Bare Maximum') to lushly orchestrated pop-soul balladry ('Ain't Nothin' New')'and that's all in just the first 10 minutes of play time. While the Gentlemen's sound is clearly steeped in the classic roots, rock and pop music of the '60s and '70s, there's a dreamy (the lilting 'Sing Me to Sleep'), spacey ('Skyway Streetcar') and occasionally progressive ('Dark at the End of the Tunnel') element to what they do that seems to detach the music from belonging to any particular place and time. Add in elements of funk, soul, country, r&b, southern rock, gospel and essentially any other style that catches their musically omnivorous ears; an expansive and detailed approach to arrangement that sees the songs adorned with all manner of horns, strings and heavenly background vocals ('Hard Road') and you have a collection of tunes that is more than just a mere album. Rather, Floor It!!! is a rich and righteous ride.
