You might not be able to tell it from his day job playing lead guitar for one of the world’s biggest rock groups, but Foo Fighter Chris Shiflett is a country fan at heart.
While the Fooeys were busy faffing about with families and downtime, Shiflett has recorded his third solo album West Coast Town, which follows 2010’s Chris Shiflett & The Dead Peasants and 2013’s All Hat and No Cattle.
“I wrote West Coast Town about growing up in Santa Barbara in the seventies and eighties and what that felt like to me,” Shiflett told Rolling Stone.
“I grew up in a west coast town, back before they chased the working class out”, he sings in the title town, a little more Springsteen than Grohl.
Check out the entire album below. It gets an official release on Friday. Yee-haw!
