ALS DRUM ROLL. Having influences such as Heart, Led Zeppelin, Suzi Quatro and Free/ Bad Company you would not think this young lady could record a Country Album.... But she then found Miranda Lambert and Pistol Annies. The outcome is ROAD TO REDEMPTION and the artist is.... CHANTELL ALEXI. This album contains 15 well co-written songs. With co-writers being Cletis Carr, Linda Mizzi of Hobo Grace, Jason Aquilina from Wildseed, Eliot Reynolds of Sideshow Alley and Shannon Guiholt. The tunes range from Chantells pretty voice (her words) on LOVE SPELL to her dirty bluesy voice on THE DARKEST ROAD, then onto her rocking melodies (with great distorted guitar) on CRAWL to the nearly bush ballad GRANDFATHERS HAT and everything in between. Being so diverse I think it would be classed as Alt Country (I am still trying to figure what the difference between Country and Alt Country is). If what songwriters say about having to live the moment before writing about it is true then Chantell has been down some dark roads in her life (like THE GARDEN was it true or composed from news stories.....a very powerful song) but is now rising to redemption and better things. I think this album has 14 very strong tracks and 1 strong track making it very hard to pick favourites, but for me the stand out tracks are GRANDFATHERS HAT, LOVE SPELL, FLY and PILLAGED (the last 2 lifted by the beautiful soaring voice of BRIANNA HOLM supplying backing vocals).
