"Black Wolf Blues" Singing all night long, with a guitar and a smoke, but with the first light, he's ready to roll. When the sun rises, he turns to a man to our surprise, all that he wants, is to make things right. He is the Black Wolf... He is the Black Wolf... Always helps his friends, with a smile on his face, always kind, trying to make things right. When the sun falls and the moon lights out, he turns to what we call, the Black Wolf and shouts...! I am the Black Wolf, singing the Black Wolf Blues. I am the Black Wolf, singing the Black Wolf Blues. ©2019 Ride The Ghost

"Big Boy's Love" Bold as love, a reckless soul. When drives his car, he feels like home. With a white mustache, under his broken eyeglass. When he comes inside, all the bar steps aside, never walks alone, his worries follow behind. He's not born to lose, he'll find a way to fight. He's the big Daddy, a reckless soul, heart warm like the sun... spread the Big Boy's Love! Is that love you seek? Come and sit next to him. Tell him nothing but truth and try to buy him a drink. If you have a response, all your problems are lost. He will speak his mind, in a blink of an eye, always free, he has nothing to hide. Chuck his white mustache, under his broken eyeglass. He's the big Daddy, a reckless soul, heart warm like the sun... spread the Big Boy's Love! ©2019 Ride The Ghost

"Wayfarin' Stranger" I'm just a poor wayfarin' stranger Traveling through this world below There is no sickness, no toil, nor danger In that bright land to which I go I'm going there to see my Father And all my loved ones who've gone I'm just going over Jordan I'm just going over home I know dark clouds will gather 'round me I know my way is hard and steep But beauteous fields arise before me Where God's redeemed, their vigils keep I'm going there to see my Mother She said she'd meet me when I come I'm just going over Jordan I'm just going over home © Public Domain

"Ride The Ghost" Under the shade, a hot summer day, walked down the streets... Under the shade, I rolled like a snake, my heart beat kicks. What joy? I'm pleased. When I came, into that place, my friends were there. And when I came, into that place, it was fun, I swear... Let's play music and not care! They said... There're times you fall, there're times you rise, these times are weird my friend, Ride The Ghost and start flying. When I stood, in front of myself, I forgot I'm shy. And when I stood, in front of myself, All fears denied. Don't hold me behind! When I started, singing that song, I felt heaven inside. And when I started, singing this song, An angel whispered the line. For those I left behind!        Start sing oh my... Come on! There're times you fall, there're times you rise, these times are weird my friend, Ride The Ghost and start flying. ©2019 Ride The Ghost

about

Τhe prolific Ride The Ghost’s EP debut artwork is tremendous – nothing but text on a white background. Clean as the message they want to pass with their “Reckless” EP: This is the time to bring rock music back to the basics. Their songs are well written, their instrumentation is spot-on, and its music comes from three dudes who clearly know what they are doing
The “Reckless” EP opens with “Black Wolf Blues”, a track with catchy whistling and upstroke feel. The main guitar riff will easily get stuck in your head, and the vocals sound gritty as hell. You can tell these guys are just having a lot of fun with their songs.
“Big Boy’s Love” flirts with the 60’s garage-blues aesthetic quality. A groovy bass line, passionate backing vocals and a melody that reverts from bluesy guitars to heavenly keyboards create a song to be remembered.
Third track of the “Reckless” EP is the legendary “Wayfarin' Stranger”. Ride The Ghost’s approach on this American classic is elegant and captures perfectly the harsh reality of the song’s lyrics. Diamond’s voice is unbelievably spot-on (for a guy who’s never lived in the Appalachian Mountains) and Maria’s backing vocals give a fragile beauty to the song.
“Reckless” EP ends with a small masterpiece that bears the name of the band. “Ride the Ghost” is an emotional and heartfelt blues piece, with solid guitar and drums that never get above the level of climatic, even at the pinnacle of the song where the a la Neil Young refrain repeats magically. Here, Diamond Pr. sounds like a classic, broken blues-man. And we feel great with that!
“Reckless” EP is what we want out of rock music: brilliance and individuality.
