The live stage is transformed into the arid vista of the Mid-West by Boss Caine, York's very own country rock collective cashing in on Johnny's legacy. G.T. Turbo (A.K.A. Dan Lucas) fronts the group with his distinctive, gruff, gravel-voiced growl, lead guitarist Gaines, adds his boundless energy and onstage charisma to the mix, guitarist Adam Rogowski, lays down the perfect rhythm, fresh-faced Jim Gipson, skilfully controls the bass-line, Mike Newsham steps in as skinsman to confirm his multi-instrumental credentials in superb fashion and all are backed up by Shonet and Laura Hockenhull, the sultry soul sisters. This is a well-respected core of local musicians, carving out a strong new collaborative identity, creating a high quality, alt-country sound to rival Alabama3. These dark disciples of the damned drag the awestruck audience into their warped world of whisky, women and lost love, with a piece of pure, blues-drenched Americana. We dangle from the precipice and gaze into abyss, vultures circle above, blackness beckons below and with the scythe of death ready to strike, we jump.
Never fear brothers and sisters, our redemption is near.
