The Girl with the Rattlesnake Heart – Steve Bonham and the Long Road
The Girl with The Rattlesnake Heart takes a few simple ingredients and spirits them up into edgy, raw ‘moonshine’ music.
It’s Renegade Americana … songs like the title track, ‘Last in Line’ and ‘The One I Loved Before’ conjure up an America of brooding landscapes; the outlaw and the rebel, the lonesome battle against fate.
A land where the ghosts of the Cherokee wander along ‘The Trail of Tears’ and a motorcycle roars into a desert sunset in ‘The Ballad of the Dragon’s Tail’.
These are songs of dark memories and courage – this is acoustic music at full throttle.
