Clutch - Strange Cousins From The West (2009)


Blues Rock

     This is the 9th full-studio release from legendary underground rock gods Clutch.  To say Clutch is a jam band would be doing them a great disservice, as their sound has changed quite a bit over the years.  Their first few albums are very raw and psychedelic, while the latest releases have adopted a much more bluesy sound.  One of the most attractive things about Clutch, is that their subject matter is very refreshing. Unlike most of the top 40 rock bands, you won't hear Neil Fallon wining about his girlfriend or his struggle with addiction.  Instead, on this album anyway, the band explores witchdoctors, The Amazing Kreskin, minotaurs, and the legacy of Abraham Lincoln. Sounds like whisky.
