Paul Mojo and the Black Kat Bones

Give Me the Bop

(Tuten Records)

Such brash dynamism charges this 1950s-styled Rock'n'Roll that songs blare as if the genre were yet in salad-days celebration. When heedless fun is the sole ambition, it's best to keep things uncluttered. Here, thankfully, no untoward realities darken what is throughout a jutted-jaw assertion of carousal's joys, exhorted in rip-roaring fashion. While storminess typifies this recording, the Man In Black paeon is laced with swaybacked Country picking that is nothing if not Lutheresque.

Recommended: "Bad Little Girl," "I'm Amazed," "I Still Miss Johnny Cash," "The Princess and the King," "Party Doll," "Keep That Bourbon Away From Me"
