Music Review: Saving Abel

When bass player Scott Wilson followed me, I saw that he was in Tantric so reviewed them.

Then I saw that Tantric was his former band, and he is currently in Saving Abel. My timing was just a little bit off, but I did want to rectify that. I am finally getting to it.

Saving Abel is a Southern Rock band from Corinth, Mississippi. 

While Wilson only joined them in 2017, the band has been around since 2004, rocking for some time.

Musically they remind me of Vertical Horizon, except that they are harder, and less sentimental. Is that a Southern rock thing? Perhaps at least partially. It may be that they only seem less sentimental because some of the songs are very much about sex with no allusions to making love.

I can appreciate them being to the point.

Although their last album release was 2014's Blood Stained Revolution, the band continues to play live regularly.

Profiles of individual band members were recently loaded to Instagram, and may be fun for fans.
