Big Special - Black Dog/White Horse (SO Recordings)
Release Date: Out Now
We're about a month away from the debut Big Special album dropping but there's time to squeeze in one more single before then. 'Black Dog/White Horse' has a Wild West meets Happy Mondays vibe as the Ennio Morricone whistling floats across the low slung bass and laid back beat. Then again, there's a hint of old English folk to the lyrics and the vocal delivery and I haven't even mentioned the Duane Eddy meets Richard Hawley guitar sound. I am officially moist with anticipation for this LP.
