With a very cool, acid-like sound with a positively vibrant atmospheric onset, The Iron Horse is brilliant not just for the nostalgic-minded, but also presents some new elements for the stoner movement, impregnating in their sound some hell bound road ferocities of the old spirit, that will generate (or degenerate) an entire atmosphere of luminescent clouds in your room, full of 60’s ideologies, freedom and a desire to live free, unbound, unchained and unrestrained, almost literally catapulting the listener to a time travel of sound, that can easily fool you, making you think that this is indeed a 70’s band from Alabama, that started its career playing in Woodstock, or any other Flower Power festivals throughout the US. Well, this is not the case, here. But if you listen to The Iron Horse, you certainly will find it hard to believe. Brian Witzig’s ability to stay strong and faithful to the roots and the atmosphere of his old rock’n’roll shape influenced psychedelia it’s not only admirable, but it is also a concept to be preserved, and, hopefully, a mainstay in future albums.
