Although this
Parchman Farm EP is only a little north of twenty minutes, it packs more rockin’ into it than most bands fail to manage over an entire career. Think 70’s riff-rawk, stuff like Black Sabbath and Cream and Black Oak Arkansas and the almighty Blue Oyster Cult. The sound, the look of the band, even the cover art…if you didn’t know better you’d think this was some obscure treasure recently unearthed and issued to the masses. Hopefully Wolfmother’s recent attempts to get the general public to remember what rock-n-roll is will help these Bay Area kids catch some of the glory, because they are more than deserving.
