Shoulda Known Better

Shouda Known Better

     

Justin Curtis (vocals, guitar, harmonica) & Sally Jo (upright bass, vocals) and guest musicians including Landon McCoy on drums bring honkytonk rockabilly to drawing room acceptance with original tunes written by Curtis along with a few choice nuggets from the American music catalogue. The band speak to the lovelorn heart with a raw/basic/everyman intensity, delivering storylines that bespeak to the inner recognition a listener gains by projecting themselves into the 'plot lines' of each tale. Don't get me wrong, it's not only introspective and contemplative as this is music is worthy of a couple of ice cold six-packs on the hood or front porch with dancing optional. Justin's rich, baritone voice is smoothly unique as it conveys experienced authority in the pre-mentioned raw brilliance that will only improve as the years roll along. Sally Jo joins with harmonies that at times hits the mark like the sound of a dinner bell. The guest musicians are top notch. Bring on the fun, Justin and Sally Jo will take you along the destiny trail of rockabilly reality.
