| | Description: | 2014 release, the eighth album from Dave Grohl and Co. Though not a soundtrack album by any stretch, SONIC HIGHWAYS shares it's title with the Grohl-directed eight-episode HBO series described by Grohl as a love letter to the history of American music. For the album and series, the Foo Fighters wrote and recorded one song in each of these eight cities, delving into the local musical currents. All songs feature local legends sitting in, with every lyric written in an unprecedented experimental style. 'This album is instantly recognizable as a Foo Fighters record, but there's something deeper and more musical to it. I think that these cities and these people influenced us to stretch out and explore new territory, without losing our sound.' - Dave Grohl."Something From Nothing" recorded at Electrical Audio Studios in Chicago, IL
"The Feast And The Famine" recorded at Inner Ear Studios in Arlington, VA
"Congregation" recorded at Southern Ground in Nashville, TN

Igor G. - 20/Apr/2018  Released on RCA Records in 2014, “Sonic Highways” is the eighth studio album by the American rock band FOO FIGHTERS. Despite initially announcing a break after supporting the band’s previous album, singer and guitarist Dave Grohl later stated in that the band had started writing material for a new album. It’s said, that in writing the album's eight songs, he traveled to eight cities across the United States talking to various people about each city's musical history, which he used as inspiration for both the songs' lyrics and melodies. Each track on “Sonic Highways” features contributions from musicians with ties to that city's musical history (Ben Gibbard of Death Cub For Cutie, Chris Goss of Masters Of Reality, Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick, Joe Walsh of Jame’s Gang and Eagles among many others). Whatever the story is, “Sonic Highways” is recognizably Foo Fighters’s recording that features energetic Grunge, Power-Pop-Punk, and Arena-Rock for masses. All songs on the album go a straight and quite predictable path, though revealing some new melodic nuances along the way. If the album's initial idea was to bring bluesy, jazzy, or root flavor into Grohl’s song-writing process, I couldn’t call this experiment a success. However, “Sonic Highways” still is a solid, professionally done, big-budget album which might be your liking if you enjoy glamour post-grunge power-pop.
