Dirty Work's first full release CD including all ten songs and album art, front and back. Dirty Work's first full release CD including all ten songs and album art, front and back. A rock solid debut album with the perfect blend of angst, anger and heartbreak. "Between the Tracks" kicks off with Charleigh Getaway, the gutsy tale of a woman so sick and tired of abuse at the hands of her man she takes matters into her own hands without considering the consequences.
Stone in My Shoe is a rough and rowdy bluesy rocker. The title track, Between the Tracks cuts deep into life's pitfalls and victories, with a catchy riff and just the right thunder drum groove for the story to be told like a surfer riding the most bitchinest wave. Desperate Rider seems to be either a sequel or prequel to Charleigh Getaway exploring the journey of a woman on the run for her life. Hard Honesty winds up the record with a 90's alt groove and painfully honest lyrics.
Give it a go, If you're a rocker you can't go wrong.
