Jack Rabbit Slim

Hard To Forget

(Western Star)




An upright metric that one shares the company of master craftsmen is utter absence of lackluster recorded material. To be sure, there are among these songs varying degrees of worth; some fly whereas others (most) soar. But be assured that, within the contemporary roots-music community, Jack Rabbit Slim rightly claims prime real estate.

Recommended: "Long Black Cloud," "Loser On Judgement Day," "Rude Not To," "Playin' Hard To Forget," "Black Tornado," "No Message," "Cat Talkin' Baby," "Serpent Slide" (Shorty Mix), "Catchin' On Fast," "Little Bird," "The Popular Loner," "Beat It Creep," "Wet Legs," "Rock'n'Roll Bones"
