Levi Dexter & the Gretsch Brothers

"You've Got What I Like"   b/w   "Crazy With Love"

(To be determined)



These cuts sprang from last September's full-length Japanese CD Jumps, Gigs, and Shouts (the Catman reference apparent to the more discerning present). Fleet-footed legend Mr. Dexter cooly maintains rank among neo-roots music's uppermost personages (Robert Gordon, Dibbs Preston, and Danny Dean, by my estimation). In the live-wire brothers Gretsch, he has topflight confederates his capacities merit. Hinted affable moderation rides confidently astride barrelling muscularity. Levi advises these songs are to be issued as a 45, later in the year.

(Some years back, Arizona Rockabilly singer Colin Winski revealed to me that when onstage, Levi wisely sports hospital shoes - the better to pop the peds to the boards.)
