The most accurate description of Glen McKenzie and the Road Kings is Roots Rock and Roll all the way! Slashing guitars and big drums! Songs about life, love, cars, bars, motorcyles, girls, politics and guitars...what else is there? Glen's vocals swing from growling and sultry to soaring and satisfied. Modern stylings meet Rock, Classic Rock, Southern Rock, Country and Blues.
In Glen's own words:
I grew up listening to Rock and Roll 45's on a mono record player, ya know, the kind in the little suitcase? My parents were into Elvis, Johnny Cash, Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass and Country music of all sorts and they played that on their big ol' Zenith HiFi Stereo, bigger than some houses. I eventually graduated to my Uncle Bill's hand-me-down Portable Stereo record player. I'm not sure why they called it "portable" as it was pretty big. It was pretty cool though...green tolex and brown speaker grills. The speakers were of course detatchable and I could spread them way apart and get the ultimate seperation on my 45's and eventually my first real LP's that I bought with my own money. My first "album" I got for my birthday was The Isley Brothers. Then I bought the Animals - Animalism. Then the ultimate...The Beatles - Hey Jude! Man, I listened to that record over and over and over.
