Description
The Hard Working Americans do more with one moment than many artists do with an entire career, and prove it again with its latest release 'Rest In Chaos'.
With the exception of Guy Clark's "The High Price of Inspiration," the 13-track album was written by the band on the road, live in six different studios.
The lead track, "Opening Statement," sets the album's gritty tone and rolls right into "It Runs Together," which describes Snider first meeting his ex-wife in recovery. "Half Ass Moses" is essentially three driving rock songs rolled into one, and the gospel-esque stomper "Throwing The Goats," blasts "weve got all the integrity that money cant buy." The albums title is nestled in "Ascending Into Madness," which Snider says is "about being an artist and coming up with new art. "
Its been Sniders two-decade-plus professional proclivity to take the lyrical knife to expectation and subtly stab, then twist. On Rest In Chaos Sniders knife has become a machete, with both words and voice.
The Hard Working Americans will once again prove that moniker when they hit the road for a multi-city tour mere days after 'Rest In Chaos' releases. -
