Passing in the Left Lane




I found it. The first record of 2011 I really dig. It's the product of a two-piece from Fort Wayne, Indiana. On their new lp, Junkyard Speedball, they team up with the Rev. James Leg from the Black Diamond Heavies and Detroit Ghetto Recorder's Jim Diamond. What transpires is a very fun lesson in slide guitar, distortion and backbeat. If you're thinking this is just like the Black Keys, or even the White Stripes, you're wrong....this is waaaaay better. More like a modern day Bantam Rooster. Raw, middle America punk-ass blues. Dig it!
