Greenhornes - ****

The trio of Craig Fox, Patrick Keeler and Little Jack Lawrence--heretofore known as The Greenhornes have been churning out the highest quality rock n roll for well over a decade. Formed in the late 90s in Cincinatti, Ohio, The Greenhornes have toured the world over (and over and over) and released 3 full length albums, an ep and a boat load of singles across a multitude of record labels. What to say about the sound pure, straight up Nuggets inspired rock and roll. And by straight-up we mean sans revisionist new wave of snotty garage rock posturing. These guys have been weened on a diet almost solely consisting of the finest r+b and rock innovators: The Kinks, The Who, The Zombies and The Easybeats are immediately recognizable in their sound. This isn't a hobby or something these guys are doing between projects--it's their life. Good, old-fashioned rock 'n' roll, plain and simple. Their most recognizable tune, There Is An End , was featured throughout Jim Jarmusch s 2005 feature Broken Flowers . After a five year hiatus, The Greenhornes are very excited to have Jack White s Third Man Records release their brand new full length album, the aptly titled **** in the late autumn of this year. Members of The Raconteurs and the Dead Weather. Fourth Full-length studio album from the Cincinnati band First new recordings in 5 years. LP comes with free MP3 dl. LP will be pressed on four different colors of vinyl (all sealed, no picking and choosing, and NO returns).Liner notes by Jim Jarmusch.
