Go-Go Killers
13 (self)




Collected are 13 reeling, blowup covers of Willie Dixon, Hasil Adkins, Link Wray, Lux and Ivy's odd issues, Blind Willie Mc Tell, and more from Rock 'n' Roll's fun danger zone. They resound as obstreperous affronts with slapdash grins and hypno-coin eyes that crash through the doors of perception and, Ronson lighters aloft, throw gasoline all over the joint.

"I wanted to do 13 as a tribute, out of respect," singer Alabama Sharp emailed me. "Shine some light and nod my head to some of the originals."

Of course those can't be surpassed. But the Go-Go Killers do wring abundant and unique exuberance from the lunatic classics. And that's the finest, most alive tribute possible. 



Recommended: "Spoonful," "Shake That Thing," "Rumble," "I Was a Teenage Werewolf," "You Were Born To Die," "Her Love Rubbed Off," "Keep our Hands Off It," "The Crusher," "Give Me Back My Wig"
