Whiskey: Joey Landreth Album Review

Joey Landreth has a Juno Award, a heap of critical acclaim for this guitar skills, and a brand new solo album that you should really listen to.

Whiskey, is a seven song record from the younger of The Bros. Landreth, and offers a chance to feature Joey’s good (like really good) guitar work and his often underrated voice. Both shine from start to finish – including on the title track which kicks off the album on an excellent note that will pull you in.

It’s both a blessing and a curse to listen to Joey’s album end after seven songs. On the one hand, all seven tracks are well written, played and produce. There is no filler, and no swings and misses. On the other hand, we could really go for about 5 more songs showcasing Joey’s guitar and voice.

We knew coming in that Whiskey was probably going to be something that we liked. The Bros. Landreth’s Let It Lie was on my list of most played albums in 2016, and having seen Joey live at a MusiCounts event in Toronto last January, and listened to the six Undercover Bros. covers on Spotify, I knew what I was getting into.

Note: Joey is also super handsome, and added to his talent, it’s almost unfair really.

If you’ve got some guitar rock (and not just loud chords banging through a song, but really good playing) love in you – and you’ve got some thoughtful, connectable, and even folky lyric love in you, I am highly recommending that you listen to Joey Landreth’s Whiskey.

From start to finish, Whiskey to Remember, these seven songs hit their mark. They flow and they weave and they really just sound good. It’s put it on and enjoy music. It’s sit around the campfire music. It’s Prairie born and raised music. It’s Canadian. It’s good.

Enjoy!
