Our Take

Saddle up, cowboys and cowgirls, because Spirit of the West is taking us on a wild ride back to the good ol' days with their album "Old Material 1984-86." This compilation of early tracks from the Canadian folk-rock band is like a time machine to a simpler time when denim jackets and big hair ruled the world.

From the opening track, you're hit with a wave of nostalgia as the band's signature Celtic-infused sound washes over you like a pint of Guinness. The fiddles, the pipes, the harmonies - it's all here in all its glory. And let's not forget the lyrics, which paint vivid pictures of a bygone era where love was pure, life was simple, and mullets were king.

But don't let the retro vibes fool you, this album still packs a punch in the 21st century. Tracks like "Political" and "Shake Sugaree" still resonate with their raw energy and catchy hooks. And the production? Flawless. Each instrument shines through, creating a rich tapestry of sound that will have you tapping your toes and nodding your head in no time.

So grab your spurs and saddle up, because Spirit of the West is back and better than ever with "Old Material 1984-86." Yeehaw!
