The Dirty Rooks, Jon Langford, and The Delta Routine at Lincoln Hall
Self-described "booze rockers" The Dirty Rooks are one of those exemplary bar bands that ought to melt the heart of any icy, serious music fan with pure, unrequited devotion to sloppy rhythm and blues. With absolutely no regard for subtlety, the Chicago act piles on grimy blues riffs, a horns section fit for a king, and big-time choruses like, "I got a girl that brings home the bacon," creating a bombastic party sound that rouses listeners to buy another pitcher. Here the band celebrates the release of its newest record, Sugar Mama, but bands like this belong cramped up on the stage, not confined to an iPod.
