The Black Rose Paladins (Demos)

by Franz Nicolay

supported by

xrenxcorex Demo versions of the songs that would become Major General. I like it a whole lot more than the finished album because this sounds so much more like the Franz we know and love from his live shows.

Patrick Book I will pretty much by anything by Franz Nicolay. He is amazing. This collection of demos gives a little more insight into his process, which is always valuable for obsessive fans like me. Favorite track: There Will Be Violins (Demo).

I like both tracks the same, it made me choose 1, These are dark times. The fact that this is The Hold Steady sounding like they should is a lantern of hope. I never thought I would hear new Hold Steady like this again. Joy is reborn. john parsons
