Bones Owens – Bones Owens

The self–titled, full–length debut from Bones Owens is a selection of songs both gloriously gritty and undeniably euphoric. In a bold departure from the moody Americana of his acclaimed EPs Hurt No One and Make Me No King, the Missouri–bred musicians first release with Thirty Tigers delivers a powerful sound deeply inspired by 60s garage–rock, Hill Country blues, and the swampy roots–rock of bands like Creedence Clearwater Revival (the first record I remember stealing from my dad when I was ten and just starting to play guitar, according to Owens). A potent showcase for his formidable guitar worka talent hes displayed in performing with artists as eclectic as Yelawolf and Mikky EkkoBones Owens arrives as a full–tilt expression of Owens wildest impulses, all swinging rhythms, and swaggering riffs.
