The Sheepdogs
Keep Out of the Storm
Americana-UK 80点相当
むっちゃ良いじゃんw
最初、ウエストコースト風でくる？ と思ったが、
進むともう少し、泥臭い。
ちょっと前、epで見つけて
忘れていたのだがｗ
傑作じゃないか？ と思いつつ、
2026年の今の音という面は欠けるところがあるが、
個人的には、非常に良い感触。
素晴らしい。
ああでも、
わかりやすく、つかみのキャッチーさもあり
受け入れられやすい作りなので
2周目以降、飽き要素がある感じ。

The Sheepdogs have now been in an amazing groove of producing upbeat, West Coast-leaning blues-rock for over twenty years. Their trademark sound manages to embrace the paradox of being both nostalgic and contemporary. Keep Out of the Storm fits in perfectly to their catalogue: it feels both familiar yet fresh. It’s a great listen. The songs are plainspoken, melodic, emotionally direct and more concerned with feeling authentic than being literary. Where there’s grit, there’s also an underlying optimism.
The album begins with Nobody But You, a song about romantic commitment, two people simply being, no plan, just mutual dependence. The expression of love is simple and affecting: “Every time I see your face / I get a smile that I can’t erase / Every time I feel this way /I know I need you in every day”. The sound is pure The Sheepdogs: jangly guitar chords, quiet moments, harmonised sing-along chorus, touches of keyboards, classic guitar solo. The album begins in a comforting and warm way.
