MISSISSIPPI BONES: Songs For The Rejects, Slackers and Rabble-Rousers

2015 is proving to be a great year for ass-kicking albums, and here’s a great example.  This Ohio band put out their first (self-titled) album in 2010.  I got turned on to it by Robyn  (aka "Stonerobixxx) and have been a fan ever since.  Mississippi Bones plays a Southern-style, high-energy, up-tempo hard rock.  Every tune on each of their first two albums is great, and this third album does not disappoint.  If you like guitar-oriented hard rock that continuously transitions from one great riff to another, Mississippi Bones is a band you need to check out.  These guys are no amateurs; listen for yourself:  Here’s “Nobody’s Witnesses”, one of my favorites from the new album.

Finally, here is one of my favorites from the first album:  The lead-off track is called “Sasquatch Paparazzi”

Mississippi Bones is:

Dusty Donley – Guitars
Jared Collins – Vocals
Derik “The Moustache” Dunson – Guitars
Jason Rector – Bass
Jason Miller – Drums
Heather “Baby Swiss Pissy Sheets” Collins – Backing Vocals

Got another instant classic to review next weekend.  Until then!              -ULTRA
