Though you'll swear you've heard many parts of Ride the Blinds' self-titled debut among the works of Led Zeppelin, the Black Crowes, and the Stones, you'll commend the band rather than condemn them. Lead singer Chris Guthridge's voice and guitar work make sweet nostalgia together, and the rhythm duo of Bill Cramer and Nick Cramer remind you that people used to dance to rock music. Critics claim Ride the Blinds make the old new again, but there's nothing particularly new in their music.
