Whiskey River - Whiskey River (1978)

♫

This is the first album released by Whiskey River. I posted their second release a while back with the promise to post this. And I was getting asked about it too. Well, here it is. Another fine contribution by Luc (who's been one of my main providers). Thanks man. As for the music, it's another batch of Southern Country Rock. Not always as strong as the second album, this slice of vinyl breathes enthusiasm and will keep you up and up all night. About half the songs are originals, the other half covers. Nice version of Waylon's "Rainy Day Woman". And lots of fiddlin' about.. Southern Rock with the emphasis on Country Pickin'.

Whiskey River - Whiskey River (1981)

♫

Whiskey River was a Country Rock band with some Southern Rock and Outlaw influences. They released two independent albums, of which this is their second. It's a very nice record which should appeal to fans of later Charlie Daniels records and the Earl Scruggs Revue. This album was produced by Randy Scruggs, and he does a wonderful job. All songs, I think, appear to be originals and are well written and executed. Nothing too heavy going on here, but it's nice steady rockin' all along. Thanks to my French Connection (again...) for providing this rip. I also have their first album ripped, and I will post that later on. Yippee kay-ah-yay!
