Jump out of your truck and head out to the roadhouse where Al Ek/g-voc, Billy Truitt/key-acc-voc, Rob Edwards/b, Justin Truitt/dr and Jimmy Carpenter/ts-voc are serving up a juke joint jumping set of blues.
The team is bred on the boogie woogie with Carpenter’s growling tenor and some rough and ready vocals on “Rotgut Run” while some boogie chillun’ guitar by Ek gets the mood down and dirty on “Take It Easy.” Some Cajun beats with accordion let the good times roll on “Jesus On the Dash” and “back To You” with some nice Chet Atkins picking for “Life Of Me.” A nasty harp howls on the New Orleans beat of “Pawnbroker” and the room gets smokey with a B3 and tenor lighting things up on “Lately.” If you’re a Texas two stepper, grab your partner for this one.
