Are You Hip to the Cruisers yet?

Posted by: Ghettoyout on 26 August 2009

Friend in music,

Just discovered that Left Lane Cruiser have a new long player out. Their debut last year called, not unreasonably, Bring Yo Ass To The Table was, without a shadow of a doubt, the album of the year. It was, and still is, magnificent. And now that a gentleman from Leicester has fitted a Radikal, it's even more enjoyable.

Here's the information I received this very morning:

LEFT LANE CRUISER - All You Can Eat - Label:ALIVE "All You Can Eat!!"
showcases the band's high-voltage punk blues style they're known for and
it is everything fans of their Alive debut expects and a lot more! Follow
up to their acclaimed 2008 release "Bring 'Yo Ass To the Table," this new
album was recorded in Detroit at the infamous Ghetto Recorders, and
produced by legendary Jim Diamond. If you're not hip to the Cruisers yet
here is the lowdown: hailing from Fort Wayne, Indiana, Left Lane Cruiser
is part of the new punk blues scene and is formed by Freddy J IV (Joe) on
slide guitar, and hoarse vocals, and Brenn Beck (aka Sausage Paw) on drums
and assorted percussion (washboard, trash cans, cowbells).
"Left Lane Cruiser plays North Mississippi style blues like a lot of blues
bands do these days, they just play it louder and harsher than anyone
else, and that includes the North Mississippi All Stars - their sound
comes across big enough to fill a stadium." - Blogcritics. "R.L Burnside,
Seasick Steve, trash cans, hub caps, meth smoking two dollar pawn shop
mics and all sounding as cool as that all sounds." - Organ. "This is the
blues in their purest form, rough and ragged, rubbed raw by too much hard
living and too many tough breaks." - AMG. "Left Lane Cruiser's
high-voltage blues sound is downright nasty. Blistering electric slide
guitar and leering vocals distill old-school Mississippi blues down to its
rowdiest essence." - Casual Listening.

As you can see, you need this in your colletion.
