Bluehorses reviews
Venue - Cracking Leather… - GW
“Seriously impressive stuff and more fun than riding a kangaroo whilst watching The Fast Show… I daren’t play this music in the car; I know I’d drive too fast for safety… Starting with some bravely-distorted fiddle playing, the tone is soon set for an action-packed album. Liz Prendergasts’ vocals are raw but proficient in a modern style, without those tedious folksy affectations that plague so many records of this type.
fFroots - The Live Album - Colin Irwin
“They’re currently working on a brand new studio album that should be with us in good time for the millennium, but this confirms that those of us who started foaming at the mouth in excitement after hearing their audacious debut Cracking Leather, Skin and Bone weren’t entirely off our trolleys… Rapidly being seen as folk-rocks’ last great hope, the strength of their conviction alone is pretty irresistible and energy levels are dizzying. Blazing bursts of reels, snatches of classical interludes and lots of convincing hollering...” Colin Irwin
Rock ‘n’ Reel - The Live Album - Dave Haslam
“Dodgy things, Live Albums, but to their enormous credit, BLUEHORSES pull it off in style… The past couple of years spent largely on the road has certainly finely honed their live act and their reputation as the most exciting live band on the circuit does come across here… From their opening workout of Aaron Coplands ‘Hoedown’ to the final burst of Twmbalwm’, the energy is palpable. One of the best live albums and does manage to convey the energy and excitement of the live experience”
