Rock \\u2019n\\u2019 roll has a long tradition of building on the work of previous stars and reinterpreting their influences. The Beatles honored the Isley Brothers, Elvis covered Little Richard \\u2026 up to contemporaries like the Black Keys celebrating hill country blues beacons R. L. Burnside and Junior Kimbrough, and Greta Van Fleet echoing Led Zeppelin and Motown. Dirty Honey is reenergizing the hard-rock sound of the 1970s and sleazy Sunset swagger of the 1980s with their amalgamation of heroes that range from Prince and Queen to AC/DC and Guns N\\u2019 Roses.

Before Dirty Honey\\u2019s headlining show at Nashville\\u2019s Marathon Music Works, PG\\u2019s Chris Kies popped onstage to witness the power and might of guitarist John Notto\\u2019s Appetite-ish assault. Notto shows off a pair of old-soul Les Pauls, explains his intermittent two-amp approach (and where he stole it from), and we enjoy a treat encounter with a very special \\u2019burst.
