This is the third album from this four-piece band who have played together for two years, with a unique sound comprising traditional blues blended with rock traditions, to form The Mustangs' distinctive sound. Adam Norsworthy (vocals, guitars, keyboards), Derek Kingaby (blues harp), Ben McKeown (bass guitar) and Jon Bartley (drums), shared song-writing duties, and the strong music influences of Led Zeppelin and Neil Young permeate this studio-album from the off.

The opening track "I Can't Find A Lover" introduces us to the essential ingredients of this album. If you like your Blues hard and rocky with plenty of guitar licking going on, then this is for you.

(Appropriately numbered) track two, "In Two Minds" continues this theme and is the standout track in my opinion: it's a moody mean and gorgeous track which combines a rocking mid-tempo romp, yet slows down to a slower ballad type of song to coincide with the lyrical sentiment/questioning; "which life to keep, which life to lose" and the title line "But I'm in two minds once again" which is punctuated with a heavy drum-beat to drive it home.

The tracks "Livin' My Life Alone", "Take No More" and "I Can't Let Go" are steeped in a traditional Cajun-blues sound and are a nice contrast to the harder blues-rock tracks on the album.

Track seven: "Over Too Soon" is a particular favourite of mine – it's an acoustic ballad reminiscent of The Doors, with haunting vocals from Adam, and the beautiful, sensitive guitar captures the naked lyrics perfectly. The song is so atmospheric that you need to shut out the world and let it pervade your inner soul.

"The Eyes Don't Lie" is a veritable feast for fans of classic guitar-fuelled blues-rock, with a nod toward early Who, referencing Townshend's energetic guitar-riffs.

This album comes highly recommended and is a high quality release that deserves a wide audience and extensive radio-play. The eclectic blues-music style here means that Split Decision will appeal to both the traditionalists and a rock-orientated crowd alike.
