The Ghost And The Bones kicks off with the powerful title track. This is a fine way to open any record, and I was hooked by the first bridge. Lead singer Jim Gray’s voice has such a distinct style that it immediately drew me in. I instantly wanted to hear more. The heavy guitar work from Matt Hallahan accentuated the music and helped to carry “The Ghost And The Bones” into hit song territory.

Many influences are heard throughout this record. Blues, glam, thrash, heavy metal, and classic rock are all present and accounted for. There is a slice of perfection for fans of all styles of hard rock. Raw, real, edgy, and powerful, Jet Black Motorcade delivers exquisite rock music in The Ghost And The Bones. The music is fantastic and the fun factor of the album is a solid 10.

“Straight To Hell” is my favorite track on the record. An old school, hard rocking, classic of a song, “Straight To Hell” contains all of the necessary elements that make up an exceptional rock song. It has amazing guitar work by Matt Hallahan. The riffs are crisp and fun, while the solos are fantastic. The song also has solid vocals from Jim Gray. And the lyrics are about being wronged by a woman and the journey to hell for both parties in the relationship. What more can you ask a hard rock song to deliver? “Straight To Hell” is an exceptional song!
