Joe Dee and his JetTones

Blind Alley Melody

(Rebel Music Records)



Some render vintage-inflected stylings through state-of-art equipment, that their output can ease into contemporary context. But not pomped Joe and his swinging cohorts. They are of the school that holds sounds owing to yesteryear ring most worthwhile when essayed via time-tested methods. And the folly of disputing that contention becomes apparent as this just-plain-moving disc shouts its purity. Direct Rockabilly this marvelously uncluttered resounds today as vigorously as when Ike sat behind the Resolute Desk.

Recommended: "I'll Be Gone," "The Girl Never Cries," "Love My Baby," "Dreamers Like Me," "Last Train," "I'm Snowed," "Danger's In the Air," "Until My Last Day"
