Slim & the Gems

MotorV8or

(Rumble Road Records)



Cookin' with premium. Given sounds by which to gauge, Monroe Slim, Zen, and Rob seem not only to have a crusade before them - that being, to heft high the jukin' bop that has led generations of kicks-hunters to wildside manna - but are exactly the chromed lowriders to pull off that noble pursuit. All instruments seem set to 'Tear up' - fracture-perpetrators thrash 'em like they stole somethin'. Boss wailin', all the way to the passion pit on the outskirts of town. 

Recommended: "King of the Streets," "Too Old to Fight," "Ethyl," "Hillbilly Pimp," "Detroit Steel," "Weak in the Knees," "Baby Please Don't Go," "Locomotive," "Pocket Full of Smoke"

Videos: "King of the Streets" (live)   "Too Old to Fight"   "Ethyl" (live)   "Detroit Steel"
