"Our band is not country punk, cowpunk, rawhide rockabilly.....we are no kind of 'billy'.....And we're not influenced at all, any shape, or form, by heavy metal. What we do is thrash, with country bluegrass themes." - #GregDavis
I Thought I Heard Some Thunder - Listen to an early version of this classic on "First Blood" an album featuring early versions of @blood_saddle 's most loved songs a few you probably haven't heard. https://t.co/TDmFNxqhFS
We wanted to recapture the spirit of the music, not the sound of it. We don't have any idea what the Old West was like. We're not cowboys; we don't want to pretend we are. - Greg Davis/Blood on the Saddle
In the basement of a Hollywood apartment building with Billy Hines producing, Greg Davis (@blood_saddle) recorded a set of songs performed acoustically. It's all live single takes with no overdubs. Those sessions became his solo album Pure Blood.
