Album Review

God loves Cowboys! THE BOSSHOSS started in 2004 with a string of Country / Western cover versions of contemporary pop or rock songs. Over the course of their career the band has been constantly striving to push their own boundaries, try out new things so to say. Already the first release of ‘Liberty of Action’ end of last year made it to rank 4 of official German Album Charts and finally was awarded with platinum. Now on 30th November 2012, a new release of the album is out as ‘Black Edition’ containing five more, brand-new tracks. The Deluxe-Edition comes with an additional DVD containing exclusive live footage and the first ever reportage about the band. Out of this edition, ‘Deals with the Devil’ was released as single.

I don’t need to write that much about the songs being contained already on the first edition of ‘Liberty of Action. Just check out our review! Musically, the album moved between classic 60s Rock’n’Roll and a b it of punk attitude and well-known Country. All in all, ‘Liberty Of Action’ was much more than just the sum of its parts. THE BOSSHOSS took inspiration from different eras and genres there expanding their own sound with it so that in the end there’s a fresh sound coming out of it. So, what expect from the ‘Black Edition’? Much happened after the release of the first edition, the band was on tour and collected lots of material. This “special content” is now available for all fans. For those, already owning the first edition, I recommend buying the ‘Deluxe Edition’ with the DVD.

According to Hoss Power, during the last year lots of material was collected which was too little for a new album but too much for a new EP. So, the band decided for a new edition of the last album including lots of special content which makes it worth buying also for people already owning the first edition. End of January 2013, the band will, as Hoss Power said, start working on a new album.
