Head For The Hills- Blue Ruin
by Tim Wenger
Head For The Hills has dropped a new album, Blue Ruin, that ups the ante on Colorado bluegrass. This Fort Collins four piece takes solid fiddle lines and puts them right up front with strong vocals and harmonies, with solid guitar to boot.
“Never Does” is the strongest song on the record, an emotional, tale-telling number that branches out from traditional bluegrass or “newgrass” sounds with an emphatic country twang and strong backing vocals and guitar.
The group does a good job of mixing upbeat dance tunes with mellower, toned down story tellers, all of which portray strong emotion and paint a vivid picture of what the lyrics talk about in the mind of the listener. A solid record.
