Black Rebel Motorcycle Club conjure up the sweet sound of rolling thunder with rock ‘n' roll as loud as a Harley and as soft as nappa leather: “Spread Your Love,” from their 2001 debut, weds blues riffs to buzz-saw drones, while “Awake” reveals a fondness for psychedelic bliss. Despite occasional nods to UK shoegaze, their music remains deeply rooted in the American heartland, hence the wailing harmonica and greasy slide guitar of songs like “Ain't No Easy Way.” But not everything they do rages like a barroom rumble—the acoustic "Done All Wrong" is as spooky as a ghost town at dusk.
