Description
ORANGE VINYL - Limited EditionLeft Lane Cruiser is comprised of Joe Evans on slide guitar and vocals with Brenn Beck on one big-ass bass drum,harmonica and a toolbox full of percussive gear. Honing their craft while playing to house parties,street corners of their home town,and rehearsing in a heatless garage,they have developed their personal high voltage take on the North Mississippi Hill Country sound."This is the blues in their purest form,rough and ragged,rubbed raw by too much hard living and too many tough breaks. The blues' African-American progenitors could bare the pain in their souls,but dared not express the anger that underlay it. Cruiser,however,are under no such constraints,and on the trio of songs that close the set the music bristles with barely repressed rage that immediately brings the Stooges to mind. In contrast,the exuberant crash and bash of "Wash It," the dizzy stomp of "KFD," and the gleeful hook of "G Bob" all roil with a grand joie de vivre,with the exhilarating "Set Me Down" the perfect band anthem. Then again,every track on Bring Yo' Ass to the Table ripples with energy and an electric charge of creative frisson. Whether celebrating a plate of "Pork n' Beans," "Big Momma"'s delights,or "G Bob"'s steel guitar playing,the Cruisers rumble through the back streets of life,focusing on the small details,although the scathing "Amerika" does look at the bigger picture. A thoroughly unique journey down a well-traveled road; best now to sit yo' ass down a spell and listen to this stunning album." - Jo-Ann Greene/All Music Guide
