Freddy And The Phantoms - Heathen Gospels (2024) [Official Digital Download]

These Danes are not to be trusted: Freddy And The Phantoms is the name of the band – sounds like Schmalztolle, petticoat and old rock'n'roll from the name. On the promo photos, however, the quartet does one on country: stetson, beards, fringed jackets. And then they also title their – already sixth – album HEATHEN GOSPELS. Pagan church chants, freely translated. But the confusion only really gets around, you can hear it in the record: because there is nothing to be found out about the good, old rock'n'roll, rather little about country and certainly nothing about gospel. Instead, the mischievous Danes bite serves up plenty of bluesy rock, mixed according to the old recipe. Because an organ is the most striking instrument in the arrangement next to the guitar, Freddy And The Phantoms are always reminiscent of deep purple – right in the opener "Heart Is A Highway" and even more so in the bone-dry "Blues Trap". If it's like with "Blood" on a country course, you quickly feel reminded of Jon Bon Jovi's 90s hit "Blaze Of Glory". Not bad, but very old-fashioned – and a bit too good.
