Rock Monroe & The Hitmen - Six Gun Soul

Music City Nashville - Nashville Music Review

RICK MONROE & THE HITMEN - SIX GUN SOUL: Indie country and rock veteran Rock Monroe gathers a new band who are being called top-notch progenitors of "Blue-Jean" rock. His latest record represents a hard to argue with debut from his aptly and aspirationally named band - The Hitmen.

You're going to hear a lot that reminds you of peak era Bon Jovi here - at least I know I did! But, RM&TH come out aiming for greatness on Six Gun Soul where they aren't afraid to wear their influences on their sleeves, either. They cite inspiration from Bocephus, Garth Brooks, Jim Croce, and the Eagles, to Judas Priest, Van Halen, REO Speedwagon and more to achieve a raucous blend of rock, country and southern rock genres.

They hit the target with "Bad Stretch Of The Road", "God's Ear", "Looking" and "World's Gone Crazy" for sure - before bringing it all home in heart-warming style on "Which Way Is Home" to empty out the chamber. Hope there's a reload on the way.
