BLACK VINYL VERSION! This collection was created & recorded at Thomas Yearsleys Thunderbird Analog Recording Studio in Oceanside, CA - both locations: the original 8 Track & the new 24 Track studio. In addition to the traditional "House Rockin Blues" sound of The Paladins, this new record encompasses sincere geo-social lyrical reflection as well as killer instrumental composition. The lead track, "New World" was composed by Dave Gonzalez and Jeb Schoonover & contemplates a vision of a world that is changing. Keep in mind, that throughout their career, The Paladins have had the liberty to cross many international borders, in peace, as artists, & travel almost anywhere. For that freedom, we are deeply grateful. The 2nd song, "Waterman", is wrought with frustration & the tug of war between the Earth & her profiteers. Next, a familiar theme of romantic love & a lively Boogaloo beat steers track 3, "Things Keep Changin", back into the pocket of what the faithful come to expect from our tribal roar. Rock & roll, surf & turf country, & traditional blues are all represented from the Pals on this record. The songs also feature the immeasurable talent of Leo Dombecki on piano / organ, the genius of Laura Chavez on guitar & Laura Jane Willcock on backing vocals. Their first new Paladins record in 14 years. Dave, Thomas & Brian look forward to seeing you in 2017 and thank you for your friendship through these past 36 rockin years!
