Mike Bell & the Belltones

Lightning Bolt

(Goofin' Records)



The proposition that discerning neo-roots record fanciers are unfamiliar with Swede Mike Bell and associates challenges imagination. The sprightly combo tosses off jumping jive without looking back, such aplomb being characteristic of players born to the beat.

Upon Lightning Bolt's issuance, Mike observed on Facebook: "We had a great time making this new album and in many ways it felt like when we first started playing together in 2008. It was really easy and exciting at the same time. This may be the best album we've ever done!"

Recommended: "Bare Bone Boogie," "Lightning Bolt," "Fussin' & Fightin'," "When the Night Comes," "Riot Rhythm," "Holy Land," "Make With the Shake"
