Howlin' Ric & the Rocketeers
High Risk, Low Reward
(Sleazy Records)
Even as reviewer pen is put to scroll, Richard Ian Colley and gone collegues are set to tour. They doubtless will leave fracture in their wake; that speculation is occasioned by this, the group's third issuance. Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes reveled in exactly this bold R&B expanse. Stark production promotes playing that is at once brisk, blunt, and of formidable capacity. Brass marauders reinforce sweat-flinging assertions, only to sporadically parade sensitive soulfulness. And Ric does indeed howl, recalling storied joint-shouters like Big Joe Turner.
Recommended: "Dancing Fool," "Secrets and Lies," "Kiss Me Sometime," "I Just Can't Sleep," "Diamonds and Pearls," "Standing By," "Great Not To See You," "Danger In the Woods," "One Last Drink"
