"Backsliders are showing no sign of stopping."

With a career spanning 30 years Backsliders are showing no sign of stopping, with their 14th album Heathen Songbook showing that their bond and skills are still strong.

Dickhead is rough but honest, while the bongos and harmonica come through beautifully in Sugar Babe. The cover of Creedence Clearwater Revival's Run Through The Jungle blows the original out of the water with its energy and life. The rock comes out through blues and roots, giving off a southern Mississippi vibe where all the songs are full of soul and passion.
