FIVE HORSE JOHNSON: The Last Men on Earth blues based Hard rock / stoner! Check VIDEOS!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely More Focused & it rocks! Sounding like a long lost ZZ Top album never sounded so good. And that’s “”The Top”” from the 70’s folks, when the riffs were dirty and greasy and so were the lyrics. Eschewing their usual low-rent Blues Traveler sound for a more straight forward rock approach works wonders here. “”Cherry Red”” evokes “”La Grange,”” while the killer “”Sweetwater,”” reminds of “”Cheap Sunglasses.”” That being said, these are in no way just lifted riffs by any stretch of the imagination. This is an album of pure blues rock fire that needs to end up at a party near you; the louder the better. Boys, you’ve outdone yourselves.

5.0 out of 5 stars Five Horse Jonhson – The Last Men On Earth,
Five Horse Johnson are an American Rock band, delivering a sound not dissimilar to Stoner Rock only a bit brighter and with more Blues in the sound, and with less Black Sabbath influence than bands like Sleep or Electric Wizard have.

Their fifth album, The Last Men On Earth was released in 2003 and is a great example of what the band are about.

The absolute highlight of the album for me has to be the second track, `Cherry Red,’ which I would recommend you to listen to if you are unsure about whether or not to pick up the album. Other strong moments include the swaggering bluesy ‘Soul Digger,’ and the enjoyable ‘Sawhill.’

The album has a big warm, almost analogue sound, with thumping toms, buzzing guitars, frequent harmonica and a gritty but not harsh vocal style.
I definitely recommend this to fans of bands like Clutch, Kyuss or Down.

With four CD’s, four European and several US tours, and copious amounts of beer under their belts, Five Horse release their fifth full-length album on an unsuspecting, but ready public. It is a recording firmly rooted in FHJ’s unique brand of Hard Liquor Rock: guitars, groove, and grind. Influenced by the likes of Aerosmith (the early years), ZZ Top, Howlin’ Wolf and Captain Beefheart, the feel of their new record is that of a band that has finally found its stride. FHJ has become so tight as a result of their continuous touring over the last several years that the sledgehammer attack of albums past has become a full-fledged wrecking ball. Tighter, stronger, American style rock without the pretences of what passes for Rock & Roll these days, Five Horse Johnson’s The Last Men on Earth  will convert the masses out of today’s 60’s Garage fashion show into the early 70’s arena where it so rightfully belongs… Saddle up, you are about to be run of of town!
