#2721 The Blasters - American Music

Props to The Blasters, who tell you what they're gonna do and then do it. American Music. Good old rockabilly rock and roll, no mixer, no garnish, no chaser.

Big clean guitars and boogie woogie bass lay down the foundation, and other than a wildly-better-than-average drummer, not a single sound or lyric betrays this as coming from 1980. Fans of Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Elvis, and (especially!) Gene Vincent will find a lot to like - for better or worse, The Blasters dig right into the sound and don't swerve one lick 3.5/5
