\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With “1000 Horses,”<\/strong> Bruce Smith becomes the latest warrior to rise above the pandemic and events of the last couple of years, delivering a fine follow-up to his previous effort, “Til The Wheels Fall Off.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bruce wastes no time here, opening with the turbo-rockabilly “Cambellton.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Take A Picture”<\/strong> was one of the songs Bruce selected when he appeared on the July 2nd There Once Was A Note, a poignant track inspired, in part, by his stepfather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I Fall Down”<\/strong> is a nicely atmospheric track, amply displaying the Springsteen and Knopfler nuances that Bruce employs so effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Satao”<\/strong> is acoustic-based, showcasing some fantastic violin playing by Hadyn Vitera, who was featured on “30 Days” from “Til The Wheels Fall Off.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The title track is an amiable ramblin’ man workout. Above all else, Bruce is a storyteller, and each of his songs is a little snapshot in time that he brings to life with the musicians who have been a part of his craft for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Venus Fell” <\/strong>is a relaxed stroll, once again opening the doors to Bruce’s many influences, all of them legends and heavyweights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“See You In The Movies”<\/strong> is another barn-burner, perfectly illustrating how well Bruce paces his albums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Everything I Want” <\/strong>is one of the tracks that, for me, points most directly to the flavor and flow of the “Til The Wheels Fall Off” album. It provides a connection to his earlier work and an overall cohesiveness to his new tunes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Don’t Forget To Look Up”<\/strong> is a roadhouse, sawdust on the floor workout that heads the album into the home stretch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The album ends with a rocker, “Late Night DJ,”<\/strong> an ode to those who keep music afloat on the airwaves. It’s a fitting capper to a great album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
