Bluehorses reviews
Making Music (UK)
“Powerful, melodic and visually compelling… terrific improvisations on traditional themes...”
Croydon Echo - Dragons Milk… - Fred Hall
“Dragons Milk and Coal” has to be the rock fans folk album - it’s loud, it’s fast and, top this, it’s fun! ... a white knuckle ride of an album.”
Rock ‘n’ Reel - Dragons Milk… - Steve Caseman
“Those who found Blue Horses’ previous melding of the old warhorse folk rock and LedZep-style riffing to their taste won’t be disappointed… as before they’re not afraid to go for big arrangements and pile on the wall-of-sound electric guitar. It’s a suitably brash and brave, not to mention successful conclusion to an album which reaffirms BlueHorses’ position at the uppermost reaches of the contemporary roots-rock ladder.”
TAPLAS - Dragons Milk… - Bernard Gibbs
“Driven by the insistent rhythms of drummer/writer Nic Waulker as well as the voice and fiddle of co-writer Lizzy Prendergast, the South Wales based Bluehorses CD is pretty high octane stuff, often at the heavy end of folk-rock. It’s modern, inventive and one of the genuinely exciting albums around.”
HMV Choice Mag - Dragons Milk and Coal Dragons Milk…
“With the Manics and Stereophonics dominating the rock scene, Cardiffs’ Bluehorses are looking to put Welsh roots music on the map – and, on this evidence, the feat may well prove within reach.”
TOWER RECORDS TOP MAG
“This year will prove fertile ground for BLUE HORSES.’Ten Leagues...’ (Native Spirit) will keep the buzz on this Welsh band alive thanks to some excellent songs. This electric folk band start raucous but show plenty of variation in tempo and mood. Nic Waulker (percussion/keyboards) holds all the mayhem together with some fine arrangements. Looks like another Welsh band set to be massive.”
Folker Mag (Germany) - Cracking Leather… - Claudia Frenzel
“These must be the Devils fiddlers… their tunes go easily into the ear, yet even faster to the legs… Buy the album, send the neighbours to the park… and PARTY!”
www.folkworld.de - Dragons Milk…
“Mistrust the opening plucks of the Celtic harp! The Welsh dragon comes roaring and spitting fire, driven by the wild electric fiddle of Liz Prendergast and the crashing songs let not only tap your feet, but bring the house down.
Folking.com - Dragons Milk…
“This album bays loudly and stampedes the listener with a sound that has been created by the fusion of a classic Rock technique thrust into a delicate layer of traditional folk.”
Folk on Tap - Spins - Cracking Leather
- DS “Vibrantly fresh and unique… one of our best bands.... It’s a tribute to Nic Waulkers production that the studio tapes manage to convey the bands undiluted power.”
