Five Horse Johnson - Double Down (Small Stone)
I don't know too much about this lot but what I do know I like. They're a kind of Stonesy mixture of the Feelgoods and something much heavier and most definitely fresher. Guitars and harp clash with some intensity and it's not too difficult to imagine the band jamming out in some sweaty club in the back-end of nowhere. Songs like "Downstone Blues", "Shine Eyed", "Diamond", "Wash Your Hands" and the title track all do the business and overall it's a very solid record.

On the downside, they're not breaking much new ground here and there's a fairly unnecessary cover of the Pistols' "Submission" included, but that doesn't stop them sounding like a great band, who on the right night, in the right town, could blow away the best of `em.
