The DIAMOND DOGS ladies and gentlemen! One of the world’s finest pure rock and roll bands, still doing it just how they please and sounding better than ever! While being out on their 2022 autumn run, DIAMOND DOGS decided to put down a new record early in 2023. Considering their last release, ’Slap Bang Blue Rendezvous’, came across as a concept album of sorts, a heavily produced and stylized double-LP, this time around the group felt like doing just the opposite. They wanted to make a standard length, back-to-basics analog and acoustic live recording together with their friends at the fabulous Strawberry Studios, and that’s what they did! With the energy levels peaking as high as the VU-meters. The band’s new record ’About The Hardest Nut To Crack’ contains twelve brilliant tracks, all mixed/recorded/written and arranged from scratch over just eight days at Strawberry Studios in the spring of 2023. Since the very start, over 30 years ago, DIAMOND DOGS have passionately declared their love for the romantic adventures of Rod Stewart and The Faces in the 70’s. On ’About The Hardest Nut To Crack’, you have it all: the voice, a heavy B3 organ, hard riffs and loose solos, a jamming bar piano, mandolins and fiddles, and original songs that ain’t nothin’ but a house party. Enjoy! |
