The Rockin' Highliners - OH MY! - [CD]
Couldn't load pickup availability
Oh My! You'd be hard-pressed to match the clean-cut and relatively young-looking folks pictured on the Rockin' Highliners' album sleeve with the authentic jump blues on Oh My!. The 11 originals here are as close to the real deal as it gets. There is no fancy updating or concessions made to modernity on Oh My!. Rather, the quintet stomps and shouts with just the gritty barroom essentials, mixing strong instrumental work with the burly vocals of shouter Robert Tycholis. Occasional diversions into surf twang and lounge ballads break up the blues, and the title track adds a hint of zydeco accordion, but this is pub party music with no excuses, nothing more and nothing less. --Matt Galloway
