Product Description
CD Description
The second effort from Foo Fighters' Taylor Hawkins and his Coattail Riders is Red Light Fever. Hawkins began demoing tracks on his own when an early 2009 break from the Foo Fighters' gruelling touring schedule finally freed up the time. The record soon went from a home recording project like the Coattail Riders' 2006 debut (which was recorded in Foo Fighters touring percussionist Drew Hester's living room) to full-on sessions at the Foo Fighters' state of the art 606 studio complex. Hawkins was joined by returning Coattail Riders Chris Chaney (bass) and Gannin Arnold (guitar) and, for the first time in the studio, touring Coattails guitarist Nate Wood. As the record's dozen songs were fleshed out, so too was its stellar supporting cast, which would eventually come to include Elliot Easton of the Cars, Brian May and Roger Taylor of Queen, and last but by no means least, Hawkins' bandmate Dave Grohl.

If you are looking at this item then I presume you are familiar with the Foo Fighters......if not.....familiarize yourself! Taylor Hawkins and the Coattail Riders is another band that the drummer of the Foo Fighters belongs to, incidently Foo Fighters is another band that the drummer of Nirvana started (confused yet?? Don't be - drummers can do more than hit the beat!). This album is the second album from the band and it also includes some famous faces.....Brain May (Way down and Dont have to speak) and Roger Taylor from Queen (Your shoes), Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters and Elliot Easton of The Cars.
I really enjoyed this album. As others have mentioned it sounds quite 70's rock with a lot of Queen influences emerging throughout the album. I also think it is quite similar to the Foo's with respect to pacing of songs. Taylor has a good voice and it fits the style of the album really well.
5 stars!

The myriad connections between Foo Fighters, Them Crooked Vultures and such is enriched by the knowingly named Coat Tail Riders. Taylor Hawkin's stays beihnd the kit and sings. Vocally he sounds just like Grohl on many of these tracks. The alternative rock universe QOTSA, Desert Sessions and Probots populate now has a Queen influenced Southern Prog Pop element. There's very little punk in Red Light Fever but a lot of 70's Rock. Some tracks fall into filler territory but the terrific James Gang, Your Shoes, Not Bad Luck and Hell To Pay raise the standard to a decent album able to punch it's weight along side some of the motherships output.

Many people call it a side project. But Taylor himself doesn't see it as that. It's a separate band that he has made and i think he has done a good job. It is a great listen and Taylor's voice is beautiful. I think the lyrics are really well thought out too. This band gives Taylor the chance to be the lead as he has got more talent than just drumming.
It may not be to everyone's taste but ,I myself, love it.
