A frenetic fiddle leads the charge as Teddy & The Rough Riders aim and fire at Down Homewith “Bullet”, the opening cut on their recent release. Cosmic Americana fuels the songs of songwriting partners Jack Quiggins and Ryan Jennings, the words and music behind the tunes captured for Down Home. There is a forward thrust to the movement of the songs as “Hippies” barrels across the tracks whenTeddy & The Rough Riders proclaim ‘hippies make the best Country music’. The playing on “Mountain Girl” tumbles and rolls like a downhill run as “Fast Livin’” hits a stride out of the gate that keeps on cooking and “Golden Light” matches the pace as they band describe their goal for a perfect day.
 
While Teddy & The Rough Riders careen through Down Home at a powerful clip, the songs take a breather when “Love After Life” taps a toe for a front porch picker and “Trouble Sleeping” follows a solid strum into the gentle sway of the tune’s rhythms. Firm footsteps walk into the promises penned for “Edna’s Song” as a goodbye finds its way in “Bird Has Flown” and a rattling beat propels “Catfish Summer”. Exiting Down Home on a bounce, Teddy & The Rough Riders finger-point a bit of advice with “Getting’ High”. (by Danny McCloskey)
