Bloodline reviewed in Lonestar Music Magazine

There are times and moods that call for country music to be a bit rough around the edges and ornery. On Bloodline, Miles From Nowhere deliver on this belief. Echoes of country, rock, the blues and the Outlaw movement mingle together to make this album a contemporary southern rock success. Produced by Dan Baird of Georgia Satellites fame, Bloodline, is full of crunchy guitars that bounce and good ol' boy lyrics that bite.The title track kicks off the album and the rolling guitar intro and vocal delivery demonstrate a strong Neil Young influence. "Give Me the Road" is exactly what one would expect it to be based on the title. Continuing in that vein, like every good southern rock band dating back to the days of Skynyrd, Miles From Nowhere know how to deliver a good power ballad, between boastful batches of bravado. "Faces" fills that role here and does so very well, with perhaps the best lyrics on the album and the hook of: this face in the mirror is getting harder and harder to see. It's a classic tale of being unsure of your past, confused about your future and the difficult task of trying to reconcile the two. "Hard Livin' Man" and "I Can't Win" are honky tonk barn barn burners of songs that harken back to the golden age of 70's Outlaw movement. "Mona Sue" has a plucky bass line and a rocketing chorus featuring Doobie Brother-esue harmonies. While not reinventing the wheel by any stretch of the imagination, Bloodline, illustrates a band delivering an outstanding dose of blues filled southern rock. Miles From Nowhere seem to realize, rightfully so, that sometimes music is just mean't to be fun. When the mood calls for something just a tad bit rowdy and rocking, this might be the record you should reach for... Story by Brad Beheler, Lone Star Music Magazine
