The Four Horsemen - Nobody Said It Was Easy

Released on Def American and with Rick Rubin's backing, the Four Horsemen's Nobody Said It Was Easy was initially lumped in with the Black Crowes debut album. However what they actually managed to do was to out-do the Cult by producing one of the best AC/DC albums not to involve anyone with the surname Young.

Having recently listened to this for the first time in about 10 years I regret not including it on the old albums I still listen to thread. It's fantastic. If the Black Crowes, AC/DC or Circus of Power are your thing then it would be a welcome addition to your collection - if you can find it. Unfortunately it's another album that's never been reissued, but you can hear samples at http://www.myspace.com/fourhorsemenband and a DVD/live CD can be obtained via http://www.thefourhorsemen.com/.

Once again Sleazegrinder has the definitive lowdown.

A nice, kickass rock & roll record. Unfortunately, it was part of Rick Rubin's Def American label (the precursor to American Recordings), along with classic albums by Trouble and Raging Slab, and will likely never be reissued.
