I don't write many reviews, but felt any new Scottish band playing music that really does move me, deserves a couple of minutes of my time.
First of all this is right up my street, I listen to a lot of Mississippi delta blues music, which is how I actually began listening to early Black Keys albums as well. This album, Dixie Fried, seems to capture a lot of the essence of that area. First of all the fluidity of the guitar strokes, with the sometimes dry drumming, accented with lots of highs & lows, black & white and the journey in between.
Its a tribute to that area of the world that these guys must also love as I hear a lot of R.L. Burnside, Kenny Brown, Junior Kimburgh, and many other great bluesmen shining through. The writing as well, is strong, very....referencing Kerouac's journey through America, Guevara's motorcycle show's a real depth that makes the album even more acceptable to all.
This isn't an album that is a clean Chicago style blues, but the blues it certainly is. It has feeling, soul and depth. It takes you on a journey that helps you drift away from the normal everyday humdrum existence, so to me, yes the blues. But hey I will let others discuss what is, and what isn't that genre. This is certainly a real 'dirty' blues in my opinion.
Also the fact I am in Scotland gladdens my soul, I will be making sure I catch a live show of these guys along the line.
I cannot recommend this album more, get it, and enjoy

Dixie Fried Lyrics
Feel So Blue My head is spinnin' because of drinkin' my world is empty…
Senorita Sun goes down I only wanna se you my sweetest rose…
She she she Rainy day, I'm writing just a letter I met her on…
