So, we arrive at yet another in the gaping holes of my music lexicography. A name I’ve heard for decades and never ever once investigated. Damn shame, cuz a CD player with some Roky and Mojo Nixon in the late 80s would have made from some great cross country driving, for damned sure.
I don’t know if we get to Jack White without Roky. The former is a slavish disciple of the latter, I would guess.
While the second side isn’t AS surprising as the first, it’s still pretty damned terrific. Right up my alley.
I feel like the way I did when I heard Graham Parker’s Squeezing Out Sparks a few years ago for the first time: I have been missing out.
