Old Dirty Buzzard – ‘What A Weird Hill To Die On’ (Rotten Records)

Old Dirty Buzzard – ‘What A Weird Hill To Die On’ (Rotten Records)

Whoever keeps repeating the tired old adage that rock ‘n’ roll is dead hasn’t counted on the flocks of carrion birds that keep descending on its rotting corpse and, by sucking out its very lifeblood, bring it back to alive ‘n’ kickin’ reality and inject fresh new corpuscles into it in the process.
