The Blasters
Dark Night: Live In Philly
(Rockbeat Records)

Mike Mann aka 'Hollywood Fats' was the first to assume the Blasters' lead guitar position after the departure of co-founder Dave Alvin. His conversance in American roots idioms, and especially his understanding of their blood-consonance, made his playing wondrous. He fit well in the substantial American Music band.

Prior to his Blasters stint, Fats had toured and recorded with a host of impactful figures, including Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Albert King, James Harman, and Canned Heat. His bona fides made jaws hit beer-spattered dance floors. He put every good and bad bit of it in the music. And everybody heard and dug.

Tragically, Fats died later in this gig's year. In 2013, the Philly performance turned up as an online bootleg. Better one own this newly issued executive package, and marvel at the Blasters in one of their numerous sublime moments.

Kent Wennman Rockabilly Kvartet
Guitar Man and Other Great Rockabilly Tracks Associated With the King, Vol. 2
(self / Kattguld)

Surely, no who looked at Kent's Telecaster when it was idle would suspect that all of traditional Rock and Roll's unvarnished majesty pulsed within it. 

Then, the Guitar Man plugs in, the acrobatic band pulls off neck-wrenching dynamics, the whole stage goes up in flames, and new believers fall to their knees. 

Recommended: "Big Hunk O' Love," "Ain't That Loving You, Baby," "Guitar Man," "You're a Heartbreaker"

Jesska
Rock & Roll Back
(self)

Jesska and the aces at her elbow acquit themselves admirably with material that recalls the Old Time Rock and Roll produced by soon-to-be icons down on Union Avenue. Then, "Hold Me Tight" breathes of other capacity.
