Jack Rabbit Slim

Foreplay   Four-track release

(Western Star)



Newer acts offer youth's freshness. And, given that they evince repectable potential, their visible thrill at entering the music world can be magnetic. There is, though, a compelling case that can be made for veterans who've traveled around the roots block, savored its temptations, and have the capacity to reinterpret them in vigorous manners. Here, one marvels at the spiritedness that leaps from speakers, as men well-schooled dispatch vintage-fashioned works with more than a bit of sauciness.

Recommended: "Robert Johnson Blues," "Born Bad," "Kickstart"

Video: "Born Bad"
