Customer Reviews
Just a great album and a real iTunes find.
There are a lot of great albums out there, but surprisingly few of them are straightforward rock. They're "indie rock," "garage rock" or "pop rock;" "art rock," "blues rock," or "modern rock" (whatever that is.) But while all those have their (often considerable) charms, sometimes you just want an album that has strong melodies, rhythms, and energy - you know, "rock rock." As radio gets ever more niche-driven, those are increasingly hard to find. It's all angsty Pearl Jam clones, Madonna dress-up clones, Gwen Stefani bouncey clones, Vampire Weekend, Disney bands or old 60's singer/songwriters who were rebellious in their youth but now feel an overwhelming need to get in touch with their feelings in a strictly mid-tempo way.
That is NOT the Delta Kings. These guys play great but unpretentious rock, with songs that are well-written with grooves, actual riffs, catchy choruses and tight rhythms. More than that, there's distinct joy in the music. Nothing is post-modern ironic here; no one is morose, and no one in the Delta Kings is upset because they have to be adults. Instead, they love rock and roll and they sound it, in the same way Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, or The Traveling Wilbury's, always sound like they're having a blast.
There are several standout songs on this album: the psychedelic "It All Comes Down to You," the Kinks-ian "Do You Got Love," the lovely "Something I Gotta Say" and the straight-up "She's Got to Have a Crazy Problem." And while the Delta Kings may not be kids, but they aren't aging gracefully, either. "Gdwmtghnm" is an often hilarious lament to not quiiiite bouncing back from partying like you used to, while "Hats" and "Rock 'n' Roll Will Take You In" show it's possible to be reflective AND rebellious.
It's a shame there's no niche for "rock rock" left on the radio; if there were, this record would be played over and over. This album has become one of my favorites and a car staple.
Americana at it's most rootsy.
Ah yes, American Rock 'n Roll. I can picture these guys prowling the swamps of Illinois with Gretcshes growling.
Great guitar sounds and awesome slide work. You might catch a whiff of the Brits, but it's mostly R&R in the country/blues vein. The range of topics keeps things interesting and the authentic vocals reach out and grab you.
Great stuff!
Bobbing for Piranhas
… was supposed to be the original name of the album (my guitar teacher is Matt Stewart, and thought of the name,) but they decided it was too artsy. This name is just as fitting and is great, pure, rock that cannot be found elsewhere in today's music. They are a joy to listen to and to see onstage.
