TheBacksliders – Thank You (Independent) They may also go by the name of The Backsliders (sic) but there is no crisis of identity going on here. This collection, also available as a free download, is a gift to fans and newcomers alike. You couldn't lose if they were charging a mint for the right to hear Kim Bonner's brattish vocals, over riffs to prostrate yourself in front of. They have a fearsome reputation as a live act and the rawness of “Bitter Days”, the pop blast of “Have You Ever Been Down?” capture that immediate energy. They may be the holders of a 'best blues' award in Dallas, but they go so much further than a twelve bar jam session. They are melodic, threatening and sweetly hypnotic in turns.
