McNallica, the hardest rocking rocker of rock, weighs in on songs by
Ruler of the Raging Main and
Ray LaMontagne.
Ruler of the Raging Main’s “Rock and Roll Death”
“Nasty bass lines!! They’re pretty much slaying on this track. Air-guitar worthy. Cowbell? Maybe a little. . . . Tight.”
Ray LaMontagne’s “Three More Days”
“Can you hear Otis Redding? The organ rules. Bring it on home, Ray! Get that sax. You pretty much need to blast this! It’s got my rock knee going.”
