...It's all quality twang...it is fairly obvious Kim's musical tastes tend towards the rootsy
Review of Rocking Horse to Mars from the Herald-Sun:
Reviewer: KEITH GLASS
The former lead singer for the Wheel has released his first solo
outing. The musical road Kim Cheshire is on takes in soul,
bluegrass and rockabilly, with a liberal dose of country. With
Kevin Bennett co-writing many of the songs and other
contributions from the Amazing Rhythm Aces' Russell Smith and
the Greatful Dead's Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter, it is fairly
obvious Kim's musical tastes tend towards the rootsy. Yet this
is a manicured sound.
The title track is a nostalgic piece about the idealism of youth
contrasted with the materialistic "real" world. It opens with
the swing-tinged Back To My Old Ways Again and finishes with the
soulful love-lost finale of You Were Gone. Production is by
Cheshire, Bennett and Jeff McCormack; there is great playing by
Mark Punch, Rod McCormack and Kim Warner.
