Sonny West

The Shuffle   CD or limited marbled vinyl

(Killertone Records)



No grooved base is left uncovered: Consider the smoothness-by-candlelight crooner "It's Gone 11," the pugnacious ex-con of danger-vibe "Diamond Tooth," and "The Shuffle" - an everybody swingalong that'll leave each square foot of nightspot dance floor occupied by happy creepers and stilettos. Nine additional jukebox options punch in, all cobbled by a Gretsch-packing, down-slung-forelock cat eminently suited to pink Cadillac sound adventures. (And fittingly, he's joined by lethal associates.)

Recommended: "It's Gone 11," "Diamond Tooth," "The Shuffle" Only these cuts were available at presstime. (The disc I purchased from Killertone hasn't yet arrived.) But their worth gives confidence disc mates also merit high regard.
