It's amazing what you find in the freezing cold wastes of backwater Scotland (and by that I mean the entire country), clearly somewhere there is a western plain that serves bourbon to chaps-wearing hicks and hill-billies. To be honest I wish I could find out where it is because the jukebox in the bar would clearly involve Sons & Daughters, Teenage Fanclub, Frightened Rabbit, and the next in line to that Americana-pop throne Le Reno Amps.

'Send Me On My Way' is the right malt-blend of Scottish indie-pop artistry distilled thoroughly with something akin to early The Eagles commercial country rock creating a nice little mixer. Harmonious vocals are interspersed with a driving tub-thumping rhythm section before the wonders of the lapsteel (neatly played by Marc Beatty of Brakes fame) are unleashed. It's a wonder that in the bleakness that is Glasgow (believe me I live there) has produced something as fresh and clearly sun-soaked as this that can rise from the mundanity of life that we are attuned to via Glasvegas FM. I really want to use the phrase 'Phoenix from the flames' but that would insinuate Glasgow should be set on fire and people it ain't that bad!

'Send Me On My Way' is backed by two exclusive non-album tracks 'Airwaves' and 'Dixie' and preludes the forthcoming 'Tear It Open' due for release in the new year. Keep a keen eye on Le Reno Amps as they are on the conveyor belt of fine Scottish music just waiting to get to their destination which I'm sure is somewhere been critical acclaim and commercial success, we can all dream for both can't we ladies and gentlemen.
