Little by Little - Ward Hayden and the Outliers

Av Magnus Nordin

Sverige bekantingarna Ward Hayden & The Outliers hyllar en av sina stora influenser och inspirationskällor Bruce Springsteen med inte bara ett utan två nya nya album. Albumet Little by Little finns ute nu och lagom till att bandet återvänder till Skandinavien för en ny turné i augusti släpps det andra albumet Piece by Piece. Båda titlarna är hämtade från texten till Springsteens låt Racing In The Street som finns med på LP:n Darkness on the Edge of Town från 1978
- ”Now some guys they just give up living
And start dying little by little, piece by piece”

" Well, you can’t out Boss The Boss. We had always felt a little intimidated about trying to tackle his songs because some of them are so iconic. We knew that if we were gonna do them, we had to play them the way we play our music, and that was the first challenge.

We chose the songs that meant something to us. A lot of the songs have been the soundtrack to growing up – back when you were hanging out with your friends in the kitchen, songs you’d listen to while driving home from school, or during the course of you just living your life. And with this collection, I felt we were able to say some things that I’ve not been able to say myself yet in my own work, and here we were able to cover some important and meaningful ground that I’ve been wanting to cover” - Ward Hayden

Ward Hayden and the Outliers, tidigare känt som Girls, Guns and Glory (GGG), kommer från Boston, Massachusetts. Deras musik är en blandning av old school country, tidig rock ’n’ roll, blues och countryrock. Inspirationen är hämtad från Hank Williams, Johnny Cash och Johnny Hortons klassiker. Alla vi som sett bandet spela live kan skriva under på att de är sjuhelsikes liveband, oavsett om de spelar egna låtar eller covers från några av sina favoritartister.
