The Russian wilds

"For all of his obsession with classic rock, [Ethan] Miller is a hell of a songwriter. He combines elements that normally sprawl in tight constructions that sound loose and relaxed. In his new work, passion and feel meet dynamic and melody in equal balance. The Russian Wilds is Howlin Rain's most accessible recording, but enormous ambition and musical mastery of rock & roll's mighty past make it an essential one, too".

"The third album by this Northern California band is a raucous tangle of vintage bloodlines: the long-ride improvising and earthy-blues stomp of the Bay Area's Fillmore-dance party age ... The evocations in "Self Made Man" and "Strange Thunder" of early Santana, Humble Pie's heavy soul and the cosmic-campfire harmonizing of Crosby, Stills and Nash are propelled with bracing studio clarity and hot-live gig immediacy. The inspirations and pot-dream idealism may be retro; the zeal and momentum are not".
