16 Horsepower - Hoarse (Green) 2LP

Reissue of live double album, originally released
in 2000. A 16 Horsepower live concert was one
of the most intense musical experiences you can
ever witness. While it is always difficult for a great
live band to capture their stage brilliance on record,
Hoarse succeeds on every level. Apart from a great
selection of songs from the bands’ alltime classics
“Low Estate” and “Sackcloth’n’Ashes” they play
three cover-versions that will make your jaw drop:
“Bad Moon Rising” by Creedence Clearwater
Revival, “Fire Spirit” by The Gun Club and a megaintense “Day Of The Lords” by Joy Divison. If you’ve
seen the band live on stage you’ll know the magic
of a 16 Horsepower show. Hoarse is one of these
rare live albums catching moments in its power
and intensity. This album is the essence of 16
Horsepower, a record in a class of its own close to
milestones like The Doors’ Absolutely Live, Bob
Dylan’s Royal Albert Hall, or Hendrix’ Band of
Gypsys.
