LOVE & REVIEWS | THE MOUNTAINEER ALBUM

JOHN HELLIER (Darlings of Whapping Wharf Small Faces ‘zine and more)

‘I’ve been involved in the music scene for over half a century and after listening to literally thousands of bands in that time I can honestly say that I’m not easily impressed, but impressed I am with the new Phoenix Road ‘The Mountaineer’ album. It takes something a bit special to make me sit up and take notice nowadays and this album and band are indeed a ‘bit special.’ Very, very good songs with a contemporary feel but at the same time a definite 60s aftertaste. It is possible to combine the two and  Phoenix Road, whether they realise it or not, have achieved just that. I’m hooked!

There’s an updated 60s vibe across all the track, with elements that incorporate everything from punchy power-pop and dreamy Mellotron backed ballads. Full of intent an energy it’s well worth checking out. 

NEIL JONES Smart Radio 

A Stunning Debut Album with a modern, upbeat feel even though it’s roots are firmly influenced by the past. It is a Superb Album that’s Punchy, Catchy, with a Feel Good factor that makes it an album you’ll listen to again and again. The Mountaineer, an album guaranteed to remain on your playlist for many years to come.
