カリフォルニアのバンドながら、60/70年代ブリティッシュ・ロックの香りが漂うその風格とサウンドで高い評価を得ているライヴァル・サンズのアルバム『HEAD DOWN』のジュエル・ケース仕様の通常盤CD。シングル「Keep on Swinging」「Wild Animal」を含む全13トラック。

On their Facebook page, California blues-rock quartet Rival Sons bemoan the lack of danger in today's rock & roll generation, a slightly hypocritical viewpoint considering that their third studio album, Head Down, could have been recorded at any point over the last 40 years. However, their cliched soundbites aside, there's much to enjoy on this typically ballsy and no-nonsense follow-up to 2011 breakthrough Pressure & Time, and with Grammy-nominated producer Dave Cobb (Shooter Jennings) at the helm, their trademark swagger is now matched by a sense of adventure. Despite the band's "things ain't what they used to be" claims, Head Down is about as edgy as Status Quo. But nevertheless, it's a record that proves Rival Sons do what they do very well. ~ Jon O'Brien|
