Overland Express' debut album, First Stage Out, is a solid collection of bluesy rock tracks that showcases the band's impressive musicianship and songwriting skills. From the opening track, "Rolling Thunder," to the closing number, "Long Way Home," the album is packed with catchy hooks, soaring guitar solos, and powerful vocals that will have listeners tapping their feet and singing along.
The band's influences are evident throughout the album, with nods to classic rock acts like Led Zeppelin and AC/DC, as well as blues legends like BB King and Stevie Ray Vaughan. However, Overland Express manages to put their own spin on these genres, creating a sound that feels fresh and modern while still staying true to their roots.
