Shane Vain and the Village Vandals

Rubber City Rumblebilly

(Rumble Road Records)



To quote Sir Cliff: "Ballads and Calypso have got nothin' on / real Country music that just drives along!" Carousing in these grooves is Rock'n'Roll all liquored-up and with eyes peeled for kicks. Paraded are devastations from the Akron combo's extant catalog, as well as just-out-of-wrapper "Can't Beat the House." Milquetoasts would scamper from this howl.

Recommended: "Hot Rod Big Rig," "Till That Moon Goes Down," "The Ballad of Large Marge," "It's Not Rocket Science," "How Many Times," "Three-Ton Jack," "Can't Beat the House"
