\"sally\"<\/a>Written by James Killen<\/p>\n

A lot of Stone Coyote fans have been waiting patiently for three years for the next studio release. Well, they\u2019ve got it! It has the rock tributes, the Barbara Keith lyrics, the covers of old rock and roll heroes and Doug Tibbles, Jr. added to the trio on lead guitar.<\/p>\n

The disc kicks off with a heavy rocking beat on the title track about a rocking older vagrant woman, a recurring image in Ms. Keith\u2019s lyrical repertoire. The rocking continues with \u201cWalking on a High Wire\u201d, which flows into \u201cThe Ballad of Boonville Bridge\u201d about a young girl done wrong by a reckless young man (another recurring theme of Barbara\u2019s), this time featuring a rocking lead guitar.<\/p>\n

The first of four covers on the record is a rendition of Bob Dylan\u2019s \u201cMost of the Time\u201d with Barbara on her piano and singing in a manner of someone sadly accepting their fate. The Coyotes follow Dylan with a rock and roll tribute to the guys in the background called \u201cRhythm Guitar\u201d.<\/p>\n

The band rifled through the album archive to redo a number from one of Robert Plant\u2019s solo efforts, called \u201cBurning Down One Side\u201d featuring some simple distortion techniques on the rocking blues tune. Staying in the blues mode, Ms. Keith summons her best John Lee Hooker impression for \u201cHere Comes the Hurricane\u201d mentioning Texas coastline cities, sure to get the attention of the Massachusetts band\u2019s large Texas fan base.<\/p>\n

\"stonecoyotes\"<\/a>AC\/DC is next on the list for classic rock covers with a rocking version of \u201cUp to my Neck in You\u201d. The heavy rock continues with \u201cThe Lion\u2019s Den\u201d, followed by \u201cIt Kept Me Up All Night\u201d that features a rhythm guitar line that Keith Richards would be proud to lay claim to.<\/p>\n

\u201cC\u2019est la Vie\u201d is a Dylanesque roots folk song about ennui and feeling alone amongst the bustle of the city of Paris. It\u2019s back to rocking with \u201cThe Beat of my Drum\u201d built around a drum\/guitar core, which is followed by a cover of the Stones\u2019 \u201cOne Hit to the Body\u201d. Barbara saved her best lyrical piece for last on \u201cIt Moves You Again\u201d about a song dragging up memories of a lost love.<\/p>\n

\u201cSally in the Doorway\u201d is an album of simple production and straight ahead rock and roll. There are no effects that you couldn\u2019t reproduce on stage and the songwriting is Barbara Keith in her element. The music is fun and comes across as a well-honed garage band, proving once again that the family that rocks together, stays together.<\/p>\n
