Montana seems a fitting place of origin for a band like Little Jane & The Pistol Whips. A rural sound from a rural environment and filed under RIYL Country Rock or rocking Country, all while flying a subtle twangy flag whether the band is banging out a rocker or bringing home out a ballad. With their latest in Long Road Ahead they nail the Alternative Country sound while also dropping in hints of old-time traditional influences throughout the dozen tracks.
A Bluesy riff kicks the record off on “Keep it Simple,” giving way to delicious chicken-picking guitar and Cajun fiddle. Little Jane and the Pistol Whips deliver a heavy ballad in “Long Road Ahead”, a story with a big reminder to slow down as Ashley Jane sings ‘take it slow, dance with me, give me your hand, I promise I won’t leave you my friend’. “Montana Can’t You See” is a big nod to the big state, “Little Gold Heart” has NewGrass bounce, and “Lost to the Trade” drops the back-porch twang and picks up an ambient, Indie Rock vibe.
Little Jane and the Pistol Whips pick the Roots back up with the ready for two stepping “In My Past” and even drop a kids tune via the animated “Bumb-a-Lee-Bee.”  Long Road Ahead is a catchy record, with multiple tunes that will sit on repeat of your mind. This is also picking-party music, where old-time Bluegrass rubs elbows with back country Cajun, thanks to the dancing fiddle that is the support star of the show.   (by Bryant Liggett)
