JD Wilkes

The ShackJackets   digital album

(Spinout)



On the outskirts of the bad side of town stands a joint where painted women frolic and fiery liquids abound. And this jump-down, turn-around Blues testifying - its gloriously uncultured essence announced mightily by harp ejaculations, drop-dead pummelings of skins receptive to wee-hours wild-siding, and guitars just down from Rock'n'Roll town - threatens to bring rafters crashing onto the heads of revelers so damn happy/sloppy drunk they probably wouldn't even notice.

(And, as readers likely ascertained from the band-name, this raw power project resulted from the early 2000s Legendary Shack Shakers/Los Straightjackets smash-up.) 

Recommended: "The Devil's Prayerbook," "Chimpanzee Rock," "Curtains For the DA," "Jungle Bop"
