Howlin' Ramblers

Drunken Hearted Man

(Sleazy Records)



Dynamic, sweeping Blues harp is central to the Howlin' Ramblers' personality. Theirs is a vigorous Rock'n'Roll, one that readily acknowledges its multifarious roots and provokes listeners into fracture states. Madly spanked guitar and slap-bass coursings are bolstered by a seemingly indefatigable drummer. To write that the singer's impassioned performances are consonant with the general uproar would be accurate, albeit insufficient. Words are poor substitutes for the music, itself.

(This reviewer is awarding extra points to the band because they include images of venerated pin up Bettie Page in their videos.)

Recommended: "Drunken Hearted Man," "Upside Down, "I'm Hungry For Your Love," "Howlin' For My Darling," "Red Lips," "I'm Coming Home," "Mess a Blues," "Hard Lovin' Woman," "Alone With You," "Your Line Was Busy," "Worried About You Baby"
