They go by names such as “Guitar Julie,” “Andy Strange” and “Suburban Slim.” And each of them play an equal part in the songs they perform and the show they put on. I made it out a couple of years ago to see them, with a different drummer. Although that was a great show and lots of fun, they have polished it all up and wiped it down clean for a killer performing machine who's come a long way since then. With songs like “I Ain't Movin'” and “Mama Makes More,” along with “That's How We Roll” and “The Swangler,” these guys can do no wrong. I'm talking about five time Muddy award winners for best contemporary blues act, and Oregon hall of fame inductees. This band is totally hot to trot, a true northwest secret weapon with ammo to last from here to Memphis, and from there to Mexico. |
