ARTIST: The 44sTITLE: Twist the KnifeFORMAT: CDLABEL: Rip Cat RecordsRELEASE DATE: May 17, 2019 After seven long years, The 44s return with Twist The Knife, a new album of blues-fired rocket fuel that pays homage to the greatswhile keeping a firm eye fixed on the future.

 

Bandleader Johnny Main spent the past few years rebuilding the 44s with an all-newlineup, and the result is the best album of the band's long and storied career. "This is the frst time I've really been able to stretch," saysMain, whose guitar playing is the core of the 44s sound. His expert string work leads the band through a 33-minute rock and roll reclamationthat spans everything from psychedelic blues-rock to vintage Michigan Avenue grooves and more.
