TEAMROCK : DIRTY STREETS feature
After dog bites, dive bars and jailed drummers, the Memphis blues-rockers have hit paydirt. Justin Toland is channelling a higher power. “As a band, we’ve always just been able to tap into something,” considers the Dirty Streets frontman of his songwriting approach. “It’s something you can’t explain, but there’s a magical, mysterious thing out there. […]
Nice DIRTY STREETS “White Horse” review from The OBELISK
Their latest outing, the easy-boogieing White Horse, runs a bit deeper lyrically than did Blades of Grass, dealing with issues of drugs on “Good Pills” and “White Horse,” loneliness on “Good Kind of Woman” and “Dust” and a general longing for things to be better across opening duo “Save Me” and “Looking for My Peace” […]

8/10 review of DIRTY STREETS “White Horse” from CLASSIC ROCK magazine
Memphis power trio’s heavyweight fourth album. Still in their 20s but sounding decades older, Dirty Streets have been making a name for themselves since 2009’s Portrait Of A Man. Where 2013’s Blades Of Grass married Blue Cheer, Humble Pie and RL Burnside’s hill country crank, their latest is boosted by further rich strains, such as […]
DIRTY STREETS premiere new album “White Horse” via ALL MUSIC
Memphis trio Dirty Streets brings the blues and the boogie on their latest album, White Horse. The band’s no-frills, less talk/more rock approach serves them well on the squealing “Looking For My Peace” and the down and dirty “Plain,” although there’s still time to mellow out a bit on a track like “Dust.” White Horse […]
10/10 review of DIRTY STREETS “White Horse” from MAXIMUM VOLUME
“White Horse” is an album that’s astounding in almost every single way. Rock n roll probably doesn’t need someone to come racing in on a trusty steed to save it, the old boy is still in pretty good health, even after all these years. That said, if rock n roll was feeling a bit depressed […]
