The Westies - Six on the Out (2016)

The Westies' Six On The Out is the chilling second chapter from this unflinching group - bold and broad in scope. The masterful and exquisite storytelling coupled with the stark yet cinematic landscapes, create an entire world of what John Ellis from No Depression describes as Americana music embedded in the rivers of Rust Belt cities, with connections to Ireland, coal streaked miners and how closely related inner city grit and grime is with the softness and serene Appalachian mountaintop. Stories not for the faint of heart, The Westies will take you on a journey of an America in desperate times - one that few people see, yet everyone knows exists. Six On The Out is an unforgettable collection of stories and songs that will leave the listener haunted by its honesty and brutality and in spite of long odds, hope to go on living. The Hollywood Reporter sums it up best… Despair never sounded so good.
