Achilles Wheel - Devil in the Yard (2016)

The long awaited, and much anticipated, third release from Achilles Wheel, ‘Devil in the Yard’, adds a new facet to the already diverse style of the band. In addition to the epic Rock and Roll jams they are known for, ‘Devil in the Yard’ incorporates the softer singer/songwriter side of the group, as well as a “Country Western” aspect. Almost two years in the making, this album represents a step up in production quality, songwriting and performance for Achilles Wheel, over their first two fine releases. It’s good time Rock and Roll. It’s sweet, heartfelt ballads. It’s knee slapping “hoe down” music. It’s also a bit quirky, but still socially conscious. It’s the kind of record that stays in your CD player for a month. A must have for everyone’s music library.
