Info for Can We Get A Witness
Ob am Ufer des Mississippi oder tief im Herzen Deutschlands - Rock'n'Roll lebt, atmet und brennt überall. Die Georgia Thunderbolts stammen aus Rome, GA, am Fuße der Appalachen. Ihr Stil ist durchdrungen von Southern Rock und Blues Rock. Auf 'Can We Get A Witness', ihrem Debütalbum für Mascot Records, beschwört das Quintett - J. Lyle (Gesang, Harp, Klavier), Riley Couzzourt (Gitarre), Logan Tolbert (Gitarre), Zach Everett (Bass, Tasten) und Bristol Perry (Schlagzeug) - einen bewährten Geist mit neu angefachtem Feuer.
Sich selbst beschreibt sich die Band als fleißig, entschlossen und bescheiden. Die 13 Songs auf 'Can We Get A Witness' wurden mit Produzent Richard Young im Barrick Recording Studio in Glasgow, Kentucky aufgenommen. Schon der Opener 'Take It Slow', verpackt in einem brodelnden Groove mit pulsierendem Schlagzeug, whiskygetränkten Riffs und wildem Mundharmonikaspiel, stolziert mit Selbstvertrauen und Charisma aus dem Tor in die Welt hinaus.
The Georgia Thunderbolts machen Musik für Fans des Southern Rocks und des Vintage Rocks. Wer also Bands wie Bad Company, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Kansas oder Led Zeppelin mag, wird hier fündig.
"geläufige Stil mit mehr als soliden Kompositionen, die etwas Zeitloses mitbringen, ohne dass Die "Blitze" Anspruch auf ultimative Eigenständigkeit erhöben dürften oder müssten. "Can We Get a Witness" ist ein typisches Modern-Americana-Rock-Album gehobener Klasse, und THE GEORGIA THUNDERBOLTS eine hoffnungsfrohe neue Bande Cowboys mit Niveau."

The Georgia Thunderbolts
Whether it be on the banks of the Mississippi River or deep in the heart of the English countryside, rock ‘n’ roll lives, breathes, and burns on the outskirts. Hailing from Rome, GA at the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, The Georgia Thunderbolts’ debut album features their scorching signature style steeped in soulful southern swagger, blistering blues, and raw rock. With a wide swath of inspirations, ranging from southern gospel and Hank Williams to Merle Haggard, Neil Young, Little Feat, Ozzy Osbourne, and Lynyrd Skynyrd, the band cut their teeth performing with everyone from The Allman Betts Band, and Blackberry Smoke to Kentucky Headhunters & Black Stone Cherry. Shortly after, they hit the iconic Barrick Recording Studio in Glasgow, KY to record with producer Richard Young.
The resulting album comprises thirteen undeniable anthems steeped in anthemic riffs, wild harmonica, and pulse-pounding drums. From the bluesy blend of “So You Wanna Change The World,” to “the first song we ever wrote,” the dynamic “Looking For An Old Friend,” The Georgia Thunderbolts rustle up a new era of rock ‘n’ roll, informed by their history in Rome, a town with a deep agricultural history. So when they sing, “Spirit of A Workin’ Man,” you better believe they mean it. “It’s got a deep lesson to it. You can’t knock down the little man,” TJ says. The album title, “Can We Get A Witness,” represents “overcoming the obstacles in life,” TJ adds. “Everybody has their ups and downs, but it’s how you persevere and prosper through adversity that shows your true colors. The song ‘Can I Get A Witness’ is a statement that goes out to anyone who has the desire and faith in themselves and others to be successful.”
There’s a message to what we’re doing,” Bristol says “It’s okay to be yourself. If you’re going through hard times, the music will always be there. We’d love to remind everyone of that.” “Rock and roll is something that comes naturally for us,” Riley, Zach and Logan conclude. “We love it and are in it for the long haul. We feel like we can bring it back.”
This album contains no booklet.
