The Diableros - Aren’t Ready for the Country

The Diableros - Aren’t Ready for the CountryThe album title is a play on Neil Young’s song “Are You Ready for the Country,” which is appropriate given that The Diableros’ music seems at least partly inspired by the spirit of Crazy Horse, with plenty of raging solos on songs like “Turning Backwards” and “Kicking Rocks.” Singer Pete Carmichael even affects the Flannel Shirted One’s signature falsetto whine on “Left from the Movies.” And when his Toronto band pays tribute to its hometown on “Nothing Down in Hogtown,” it’s yet another nod to Neil.
