Put Me On
One Way Ride
Independent Release, 2016
From Denver, Colorado comes contemporary blues band One Way Ride, with strong harmonies and burning guitar leads.
“Devil’s Eyes” kick starts this disc with a deep groove and a dirty, searing guitar sound. The song is ready made heavy rotation on your permanent playlist.
“1100 Miles” is hard edged boogie, and it paints it’s own picture immediately. From the opening measures it’s not hard to imagine it playing out over a taxed PA in a crowded roadside bar where Harley’s occupy each and every parking spot out front.
“Man I Am” is a slower acoustic number where vocalists Lyle Work and Laura Rose duet. It’s not some slick, overly produced number, but emotionally raw. “Waiting” closes out the disc. A slow burning, intense set closer. Anguished and colored with some fiery guitar leads, the song works through personal loss as best it can.
One Way Ride easily distinguish themselves in a crowded field of similar acts.
