Roy Dee
and the Spitfires
Desert Wind
(Wild Records)
Enough raw power to charge entire dance halls. Beat-devotion is raised to a dizzying plane, from which crazy-legged rocker couples dive bomb to spectacular destinies.
Recommended: "I Got Demons," "I Did It," "Like a Rocket To My Baby," "I Don't Belong To You," "Rolling Through the Night," "Bop Like That," "Shake, Shake Like a Rattlesnake"
Video: "I Got Demons"

Snakebite
Rockin' Up a Storm
(Atenzia)
"Let's fuckin' rock and roll!" Jorgan roars, as he mounts a fierce assault on the old six string. Killer 88s rollick in answer to his gravelly exhortation, the beat that's enslaved generations works its visceral voodoo, and rockabilly of cheeky Ted bearing picks 'em up and puts 'em down into the wee hours.
Recommended: "So What," "Born To Rock," "I'm Comin' Home," "Moonshine Boogie," "The Blues Had a Baby (They Called It Rock and Roll)," "Just a Game," "Teddy Boy Rocker," "Feelin' Best For Me," "Nothing Is Good Enough"

Priscilla Bowman
A rockin' good way
(El Toro Records)
Priscilla brought what the moment needed: A commanding vocal presence and a spirited sense for rockin' blues that, whether high-stepped under the lights or whispered in shadow-draped club corners, kept hearts abuzz.
Come to think of it, those are felicitous in every era.
Recommended: "A Rockin' Good Way" (with the Spaniels), "Hands Off" (with Jay McShann's Orchestra), "I've Got News For You" (with Jay McShann), "Don't Want You No More," "Yes I'm Glad (Everything's Alright)" (with Al Smith's Orchestra), "I Don't Need Your Lovin'" (with Jay McShann), "Sugar Daddy," "(Keep a) Spare Man" (with Al Smith's Orchestra), "I Ain't Givin' Up Nothin'" (with the Spaniels), "Why Must I Cry" (with Riley Hampton Orchestra)

The Don Diego Trio
Live From Austin
(El Toro Records)
That the unvarnished riff-bop churned by this rangy, whip-crack Texas roots-trio is sometimes familiar should be counted as a credit. It's not easy to faithfully interpret the traditional sounds of a culture while imprinting them with one's own features. And to do that, this well, is not something heard every day.
Recommended: "Rolling Wheel," "Django From Twango," "Truck Drivin' Daddy," "Loves the Rain," "My Window Faces the South," "I Didn't Walk the Line," "Austin"

Batmobile
Brand New Blisters
(Butler Records)
Batmobile imbues detonative trio psycho with so much humor and off-balance perspective as to be singular among monsters of string and skin. Legends into the future.
Recommended: "Rock and Roll and Alcohol," "Save My Soul," "Never Gonna Stop," "Motherfuckin' Hippie," "Apeface," "From the Get Go," "Fucked Up," "Rest In Peace," "Big Bob"

Mr. Irish Bastard
The Desire For Revenge
(Reedo Records)
Blood floods madly through the swelled veins of this proud creature. Old Country airs and punk demolitions knock about in fraternity. Serves equally well as bracer for the familiar and deserved boot-kick for all others.
Recommended: "Oliver Cromwell's Head," "Darlinka (Darling Karlinka)," "Poor Irish Billy," "Pirates of the Irish Sea," "Mike Malloy," "I Only Like You When I'm Drunk," "The Soundtrack Of My Life"

Zulj
Resetiraj Civilizaciju
(Monsterbilly)
Tom Joad looked at Johnny. "Wherever rude guitars are fighting, I'll be there. Wherever there's snarling, you'll see me. And wherever raw-boned punk challenges the world to a final rumble like it's never been challenged before, I'll be sporting the sideways grin of an outsider who's just crazy enough to grab for the impossible."
Recommended: "Sloboda?," "Drzava," "Restiraj Civilizaciju," "Uniforma Krvozednih," "Junk," "Istine su Lazi," "Probusi Balon"
