​Adam Hattaway & The Haunters (from the album Rooster as a self-release) (by Bryant Liggett)
You can pack in a lot when your record has 22 tracks. That’s enough audio space to display the full swath of Roots Rock, from lazy Folk Rock tunes to ballads to Blues-influenced, mid-tempo Rockers, subtle twangers, and fun sing-a-longs. It’s what Adam Hattaway & The Haunters pulls off on their latest Rooster, a waste no space, cram your listening and writing musical influences into a one record blast that hits at all of the above genres while never letting one style display more than the next. A textbook taste of Americana.
Adam Hattaway & The Haunters open with a weeper, the line ‘back in jail, again’ introducing a weepy piano ballad, while cuts like “Riding the River” and “It’s Too Late” have a bit of jangle. There’s Country dripped onto “Honor Lee” and “The Only Game in Town”, the former delivered with a subtle yodel, the latter ready for honky tonk two-stepping. “It’s Hard” is straight up Blues, “It’s Too Late” comes with a Bobby Keys inspired Rock’n’Roll sax solo, and “Blood Moon” is a anthem for a drunken campfire call and response singalong. “Mama, You Made a Drinker” is a song for fellow drinkers. The star in the 22-song epic is the title track. “Rooster” is a rowdy one packed into 35-seconds , driven by a locomotive drum rhythm and Country stunt guitar. Adam Hattaway & The Haunters bang out a big one, the fun in the listening is the musical meandering from up-beat to mellow and back again, delivered in a fun, never take yourself to seriously display.
