Let's Have Some Fun! digital album
(Dionysus Records / self-reissued)
Up Vancouver way, the joint is jumpin': A countrified, swinging ensemble up front raises a ruckus every cool dynamo swears by. All kinds of yahoo menfolk and downhome dollies set the woods on fire, ears filled and limbs goaded by sounds birthed in humble barrel houses and barn dances of yore. Window glass shudders in time to swaybacked outpour. Taking turns under the center spot are busy fiddles, animated lap steel, and vocals whose casual drawl indicates unvarnished homefolkness. Couples hoot appreciation, as guitars are sweetly picked and drums do exactly right. Black-and-whites cavort. Joyfulness says closing time can go to blazes.
