Left Lane Cruiser
The standard blues-punk cliché is to say that a singer sounds like he’s been subsisting on nothing but Jim Beam and Marlboro Reds since the womb, but Left Lane Cruiser’s Freddy J IV seems to have been chasing those Southern-fried standbys with shots of pure hydrochloric acid. Together with ham-fisted beats and splays from appropriately nicknamed drummer Brenn “Sausage Paw” Beck, the duo makes a noise as raucous and road-weary as a Mack truck on last year’s Bring Yo’ Ass To The Table, which drags the motor oil-caked, mad-as-hell North Mississippi sound of the Fat Possum gang down to the bottom of the Delta with two concrete blocks chained to its feet.
