Rival Sons: Great Western Valkyrie version on vinyl 2LP in Standard edition. This particular edition was published in Europe in publishing company Earache on 15. January 2021.

Rival Sons are considered to be the modern blues-rock discovery of recent years. They don't sound retro or backwards at all. On the contrary, the Los Angeles quartet can breathe new life into one of the most traditional musical styles in rock history. The response has been correspondingly wide: from heavy metal magazines to established fiction to pop radio, everyone agrees on the bluesy, earthy and, at some points, soulfully warm sound of Rival Sons. Their latest album "Head Down" has been an international success, hitting the charts in ten European countries. In 2012 they also received the Classic Rock Award in the "breakthrough artist" category. Now comes the quartet's eagerly awaited fourth album "Great Western Valkyrie". In addition to their appearances at this year's Rock am Ring and Rock im Park festivals, Rival Sons will be performing an exclusive club show in Berlin on June 5. Frontman Jay Buchanan reveals, "I'd like to think we became a little more ourselves during the recording of this album and our chosen influences expanded. You'll also immediately notice the fresh blood [of our new bassist David Beste] in the mix. Woah, it's like thunder coming out of his hands, which carries over to the whole album. And my performance? I'd say in the end it was the same, but our producer Dave Copp thought it was the best I've delivered so far. But what the hell does he know? They say the truth is in the eye of the beholder. I'd say the album is like a book of obscenities hidden in a church hymnal." Review "...you've never heard a California quartet as wild, raucous and unpredictable as on Great Western Valkyrie." (Good Times, June/July 2014) "These sons of California can seemingly effortlessly combine the grand gestures of blues rock gods like Led Zeppelin with the youthful abandon of contemporary acts like DeWolff." (K. Reckert, Gaesteliste. de)

Album spans genres Rock, Hard Rock and Blues Rock.
