about

Working on Engines features Greg Horne's full band sound, an anticipated companion to his solo acoustic album, Basically Sane.

Press:
There’s not a single track here that doesn’t grab hold at the outset...Working on Engines is nothing less than a tour-de-force.
--Lee Zimmerman, No Depression, 7/29.16

“Working on Engines” is a pastiche of styles, from the bluesy stomp of the album opener, “Always on the Road,” to the Grateful Dead-style shuffle of “Black Buzzard” to the weepy barroom twang of “All Eyes Are Upon You” to the indie rock buzzsaw guitar of the album’s magnum opus, “Me and the Mockingbird,” which features R.B. Morris adding some guest poetry. The engine Horne has constructed on this album is an exotic one, a mishmash of parts from different genres of popular music that are strung together through ingenuity and sheer musical genius, but it works well, and when the key is turned and the whole thing turns over, it hums with a vibrancy that tells all those who listen just how much fun it’s going to be to drive.
--Steve Wildsmith, The Daily Times (Maryville, TN), 8/17/16
