Jared Petteys & the Headliners

Shake A Little EP

(Retro-Sonic Records)



Only days prior to this writing, Jared and his combo shared an Atlanta stage with the storied Hillbilly Casino. Readers would be correct in interpreting that association to be symbolic of high caliber. Consequence is a requisite for any who would draw breath in that fast company. Charleston's Headliners surely galvanize blue-collar club-goers and drive them to free-for-all distraction. The majority of EP tracks are robust in their fulfillment of hankering for concrete, dominative Rock'n'Roll redolent of early Sun Studio experimentations. But sandwiched between those exertions is an instrumental of profound Mexican bearing. Grandiose in compass, it casts spotlight on Jared's redoubtable facilty, which is evidenced as being multi-stylistic -- advisably so.

Recommended: "Shake A Little," "You're My Baby," "Lost In Baja," "Holly Would," "Get Outta My Own Way"

Video: "You're My Baby" (live)
