Billy Nixon
Late Fees
(Fourth Bridge Records)
It's always heartening when someone with faith in germinal Rock'n'Roll grabs up a guitar and lets fly. On evidence of these foursquare tunes, refreshingly free of extraneous adornments as they are, Chicagoan Billy is exactly that steadfast disciple. He can fire off swinging and tuneful bombardments, deliver plaintive narrations that inspire pause, and all the while heft high the torch first lit by masters.
Recommended: "She Gone," "Brown Liquor Night," "Please Arlene," "Forget Me Not," "Make My Way To Memphis," "Come On Back," "Tears Won't Come," "Search and Destroy"
