Gary Moore’s version of Hendrix’s “Voodoo Child” stopped me dead in my tracks, challenging my long-held theory of cover songs.

I know a band rocks when it inspires a bald fifty-something to stage dive — thrice. And my wife to skip the gym in favor of drinking.

The Stone Foxes have a polished grittiness that features great structure and arrangements while also channeling the rawness of rock.

Heartless Bastards is a unique blend of many roots and classic rock influences. There's a lot going on with this band, all of it good.
