"I've got soul, my mama says so," sings Stephen Kellogg on the first track off Gift Horse, the newest album from Kellogg & The Sixers, and by the time the album closes, you won't disagree with his mama one bit. Equal parts country-rock, Springsteen earnestness and Lucero's own barroom grit, October's Gift Horse is a sturdy 11-song collection from the band, which made its name playing the rock circuit around the University of Massachusetts. At times listening to Gift Horse, you mistake them for a band of Texas red-dirters, but their sound is from the cradle of the American Revolution. Prior to forming the Sixers in 2003, Kellogg was a seasoned solo artist, releasing a slew of albums from 1994 to 2002, full of songs about sadsacks, jilted lovers and drunken heroes, which would inform the output of the Sixers years later.
