Maryland-based Clutch has had a lot of labels thrown their way, from stoner-rock to psych-blues to hardcore — none of which would indicate a willingness to travel to Nashville to record because they loved the sound of country star Chris Stapleton’s records. Turns out it was a wise decision, because the band’s new Book of Bad Decisions, their 12th full-length, is a majestic slab of straightforward guitar rock that sounds amazing thanks to their work with Stapleton vet Vance Powell, who’s also recorded with White Stripes and Arctic Monkeys. Fifteen songs deep, and full of Neil Fallon’s majestic vocals, the new set will surely be the basis for a memorable Clutch live show.
