The Jets

50 Years of Rockin'

(Krypton)



Having issued several 'best of' and commemorative compendiums previously, the Cottons three might be assumed to now be scraping barrel's bottom. They are - but it's one crackerjack of a barrel, and each song contained merits recollection. Harmonizing and rock-around-the-malt-shop-clock hot-rods clean through Gonesville's town square.

Recommended: "Don't Knock Upon My Door," "My Pigeon's Gone," "Movie Star," "Pretty Pretty Baby," "Bye Bye Love," "Perfect Love," "In Love With You," "Wildest Cat in Town," "Why Don't You"

Videos: "Don't Knock Upon My Door" (live 2025)   "My Pigeon's Gone" (live 2007)   "Pretty Pretty Baby" (live)

Joe Bombast

"Not Wild Enough"   single

(Martone)



Municipal pencil jockeys may know him as Joe Martin, but Bombast is the descriptor preferred 'round these streets. To hear the one-cat-band let loose with febrile hoots and off-rocker hollers, you'd suspect the ghost of a legendary, tongue-tied hiccuper must've descended and inhabited. But Joe's plainly more intent on swinging like a gate in bash-down Rockabilly gusto, than seeking ghost-doctors' prognoses. Which is so much to the better, for us.
