Review: Saw Wheel - The Next Train

Posted on 16 April 2008 | No Comments

RJ is a guy from Austin, Texas who records as Saw Wheel. His debut full-length The Next Train sounds like the combination of acoustic guitars, beards, harmonicas, dead-end jobs, whiskey, endless roads, and gruff but warm vocals. It is full of rough-edged Southern-tinged folk-punk that reminds me of Chuck Ragan, Tim Barry and their heartfelt working-class anthems. These songs from Saw Wheel have a genuine gritty quality that sounds like a dude sitting on his front porch playing a guitar. Oh yeah, the album also includes a cover of Avail’s “Lombardy St.” Good stuff.
