Singer/songwriting rocker Bones Owens likes to take control. From riding his motorcycle to each gig to playing nearly all the instruments on this, his third album, and producing it (for the first time), Owens grabs the reins of his own success on this collection. For Best Western, he wraps some glam (“In the Wind” could be a T. Rex B-side), harder-edged garage rock (“Talkin’ Loud”), blues (“Silver Spoon Blues”) and psychedelic folk (“Here Is Not My Home”), with convincing, soulful but never over-sung vocals for 50 minutes of gutsy, plugged-in Americana.
Owens doesn’t believe in excess; only one of these 15 tracks breaks the four-minute mark as he sticks with rugged guitar/drums/bass instrumentation and a few unobtrusive keyboards.

As the late ’60s rolled unsteadily into the early ’70s, the U.K. music scene was in understandable flux. The last stages of psychedelia were burning out, and musicians were looking for new sounds to fill the void. Some turned to the freedoms of jazz, others looked to the countryside for laid-back vibes, while some rocked up the blues or started heading in the direction of prog. A few intrepid explorers even tried to meld it all together into something new and magical, though most bands just seemed happy to be free of the influence of the Beatles and Carnaby Street.
