Although from the West Coast, to MM’s ears, The Stone Foxes play no-nonsense, straight up southern rock, but thankfully do it really well.

While we suspect that there might be a Drive-By Truckers album or two in their collection, it doesn’t detract from the enjoyment of listening to the full on bluesy roar of I Killed Robert Johnson (a confessional from the point of view of the bartender who, so the story goes, poisoned the blues singer with strychnine) or the vintage bar-room holler of Stomp.

Both tracks are from their new album Bears & Bulls which is out now.
