“Tramps & Thieves take songwriting seriously but this doesn’t mean that the results are stiff or stodgy. Clearly, hooks matter but what matters most with ‘Galloping Hearts’ is honest emotion. They’ve said that they don’t give a hang about ‘looking the part’ or stage energy–although they certainly have these bases covered. The focus here is the songs, the songs, the songs and how well they are conveyed–throughout their 12 year history this has been the case but ‘Galloping Hearts’ shows this philosophy coming to fruition. Stylistically they are a rock and roll band with some country twang (there’s pedal steel guitar on 6 of these tunes). They love music. Mostly the music that used to be but they resist being painted into a corner: they are not a weekend cover band. There’s too many catchy and creative tunes here that they’d ever be mistaken for one. ‘Galloping Hearts’ is their best effort to date. It’s a guaranteed ‘like.'”
