Elias T. Hoth's 'Wrath Widower'

There are a couple of ways to get through life. You can play it safe and avoid trouble, or take chances and live on the edge.

Elias T. Hoth has never been one to take the path of least resistance. The English-based band makes that clear with the release of its latest album, "Wrath Widower."

This isn't your daddy's Southern Rock. While many bands have chased a more commercial alternative and transitioned to country music, Hoth will have none of that nonsense, pushing the Southern Rock genre toward what it should be — kick-ass rock and roll. "Streets After Midnight", "Long Time Dead" and "The Road Outta Hell" merely reinforce Hoth's bruising, edgy style.

'Sleazy Hussy Fever' by Elias T. Hoth

Southern Rock's reach goes around the world, including England, where powerful Elias T. Hoth resides. "Sleazy Hussy Fever" represents Hoth at its nasty best, with telling vocals and biting guitar licks.

Not every station is brave enough to play Hoth, but you'll hear plenty of selections from the band on All Dixie Rock.
