BLUES-ROCK collaboration of seasoned and talented virtuosos. This record is gold, with all songs pretty good and some great. Some zydeco, some boogies, a lot of old school country, rock and blues. Danceable, drivable, drinkable. RIYL Alvin Bros., North Mississippi Allstars, Luther Dickinson, Clutch? Track 4 (kinda?) has an FCC. 1. (2:17) **** Fast, driving rockabilly w/ a catchy, succinct refrain. 2. (3:43) *** Upbeat, swingin’ early country/rock. 3. (3:15) **** Medium, tough rock groove. 4. (2:32) ***** (FCC? “Muthafuyyah”) Stellar Zydeco groove. 5. (2:43) *** Fast, driving rock emulating Clutch. 6. (2:48) *** Early country rock. 7. (2:40) *** Fast, loud rocker. 8. (3:20) *** Medium speed adultery blues. 9. (2:47) **** Great Zydeco-swung rocker. 10. (3:45) **** Mean sinner -> prisoner story w/ great, strange lyrics & a twist. 11. (2:08) *** Nice, quick boogie. 12. (1:59) **** Nicer, quicker boogie w/ Dave Alvin. 13. (2:20) *** Blues/rock/jazz/zydeco 14. (1:32) *** Another quick boogie w/ some emphasis on keys. 15. (3:08) ***** Slow, plodding bass. Espanol. Island, mariachi vibe? | ||
