V/A

Rockin' Garage & Trash-A-Billy

(Western Star)



Slouching between grooves are sundry outfits, yes, but all share relish for ripping out every window in the place. The Cavanish clan's stomping-good contribution sounds a bit like "Steppin' Stone" got ahold of bad liquor, and is having an accelerated episode. There's real Kinks architecturing in moments, and in others, the same shot-no-chaser jitter-boppin' that filled late nights no one completely recalls. It's guitar-strapped gangs like these that keep important fires grasping for the inkiness overhead.

Recommended: "Annabella" (The Bullets),  "This Town" (Henry & the Bleeders), "Speed of Love" (Jack Rabbit Slim), "Little Wino's Date with Death" (Bastard Sons of Cavan), "She Gotta Move" (The Bullets), "Trash Talkin' Sally Anne" (The Bullets), "Swamp Devil" (The Hillmans), "10lb of Sad" (Jack Rabbit Slim)
