The sophomore release by Sassafras is one to definitely be noted. Dos, released on December 31st, 2010, is a great new 10-track album by Sassafras led by the singer and guitarist Sailor Alexander. Recorded around the same time as the first album "Sassafras LP" and like the first album every instrument is played by Sailor. Some of my favorite songs on the album would be the first track "Old Man," "Death Blues," and "Eli" The album, as is the song, is death blues. It has has some very hard riffs that kind of go into what you would think of as bluesy, that back up Sailor's hard, scratchy vocals. I would have to note "Eli" as really one of the great songs on this album. I really like the little interlude with what seems like a twelve-string guitar part. I think this album is really great and would recommend it to someone who is looking for something really hard, but is not so much looking in the metal section of the record store. Come see Sassafras along with nine other bands on Saturday the 15th at The Blvd, where I will be watching, reviewing, and hopefully interviewing some of the bands there!
