Black Diamond Heavies - Every Damn Time
- A Tennessee twosome that mixes calm tracks with frenzied ones and adds a vocalist whose raspy timbre gives each song a caustic feel, describes Black Diamond Heavies’ “Every Damn Time.” “Fever in My Blood,” is a suitable title for the opening song since the drummer seems to have fire coursing through his veins and if the boost in his banging is any clue “All To Hell,” is a more subdued track with Hammond Organ work from Matt Rowlands. The scratchy vocals resonate stinging lyrics like, “Didn’t I give you my heart? Didn’t I give you my gold? Give you my mind, baby, didn’t I give you my soul? Well, I want it all back. I want out of this hole. Want some peace of mind baby, so please send my soul.” “Leave It in the Road,” brings back the blaring drums, but this time listeners could think the drummer is just pounding incoherently because of the agitated pace. “Let Me Coco,” harkens back more Hammond Organ play from Rowlands. The richness of the instrument and the precise notes give the track a Gospel flow that listeners might hear at their next church function. In the end, Black Diamond Heavies’ “Every Damn Time,” has its rock elements, a gravelly vocalist and a heavenly inspiration all wrapped up in a package that will be music to many listeners’ ears.
