The Carnivals
Fiesta Time
(Rum Bar Records)
Class this as a new phase in an already celebrated career. Frontman Kevin Patey is more widely acclaimed as strings-maestro Jittery Jack, whose dirt-under-fingernails Americana oeuvre ( a delightful melange of Rhythm and Blues bounce, git-rockin' propulsion, and loose-limbed back-country accenting) is now augmented with swaybacked New Orleans styling. Crack good-times purveyors to a man, the assembled players are themselves worth admission cost.
Recommended: "Moonlight On the Levee," "Low Tide Society," "My Key Don't Fit," "Tropicana Joe," "Well At Your Age Blues," "Out Of This World," "Wontcha Dontcha"
