Having walked the well-worn path of the country legends, Full Bloan Power grabs a machete and carves out one of their own with For Sale By Owner, the bicoastal group’s latest full-length record. The quixotic image on the exquisitely-designed album cover hints at the music inside, with one traditional work boot stepping into, and onto, country music’s uncertain future. The sound of the record is as varied as its themes, veering from classic hillbilly rave-up story song (“(Let’s Go Back To) Hancock Park (And Start A Band)”) to epic power ballad lament (“Insurance Man”) to existential grunge meditation (“Sweeper/Mopper”) to poignant country pop travelogue (“Travelin’ Travis”) to whatever “(So Hot) It Hurts” is. Recorded in Bucks County, PA, and Los Angeles, CA (in Hancock Park, a neighborhood featured prominently in the lyrics), this record is the culmination of their collective labor as a band. Some fans hear similarities to the Bakersfield heroes of yore, some to Hank Jr., some to Ween’s country side, but Full Bloan Power is very much its own creature, one wandering the barren landscape of an increasingly nonsensical world. Exuberant, confused, reflective, demoralized, dignified, anxious, and doomed...what could be more appropriate in the waning days of the American empire? Make sure to catch this one-of-a-kind act on their bi-regional tour of the Northeast and the Southwest scheduled for Fall 2016, as they might not be back again. In fact, as the band would surely point out, none of us might.
