The Velveteen Flowers

Cadillac Desert   EP

(Newsboy Cap Records)



A Fleetwood swung to the cracked curb. From it exited a hawkshaw whose hard-knocks backstory determined his moves. Shades. Sharkskin. Roach killers. Neon flashings flickered in wee-hours puddles. And this was his chosen music: a percolated amalgam of Rock'n'Roll flares and cool-Jazz contemplations, wrought by men driven to answer the timeless call of the Hip.

Recommended: "Sleek Cat Slippy," "Bebop Baby," "Baby Goodbye," "Swing Kitten (Bad Bad Girl)," "Shoulda Stayed In"
