High Noon Hymns (2026)

"It’s safe to say that the Long Ryders have rehashed a certain formula in the country rock style that developed out of California five decades back: with yearning lyrics, tasteful pedal steel licks, rhythms that to bob one’s head to, and guitar breaks that are Opry solo-worthy but with a fuzz box added over top 12-string picking for some rock and roll addition. As decades have worn on, albums like The Byrds’ "Dr. Byrds And Mr. Hyde" and the works of Blue Rodeo and Uncle Tupelo all exemplified what became known, rightly or wrongly, as alt. country and hooked listeners to country-influenced music. "High Noon Hymns" fits well with those. Not necessarily original and definitely not experimental, but bittersweet, funny, well-orchestrated, and original enough that it is not set to appeal to the average radio listener. The Long Ryders know what they do well and have served up a strong entry in their own catalogue that would doubtlessly be pleasing to fans and outsiders alike." (Spill Magazine; 4,5 uit 5 sterren)
