“Bobby Booshay” is a booty-shaking, rollickin’ tune about a mean dude and “a bad mutha fucker.” The volume slowly rises on “Please Pt. Two,” a song seemingly already in progress. It is a quarter of the way through before the levels are full when Joe’s intense scream rings out.
Although it could easily pass for an album from the late ‘60s/early ‘70s, Tell Me What Your Name Is! will be on my “best of 2009” list. It’s all killer, no filler. It can be heard in its entirety at their MySpace page, and “Sugarfoot” is currently available for a free download at Amazon.

Nice work here, El Bicho. I'm always interested when music gets under a writer's skin. It's one thing to say an album is good and list the reasons why. It's another thing to gush about how an album has impacted the very soul of the guts of your life. I think I'm going to have to check out the free MP3 just to see what it is you're digging.

Thanks, Josh, but hell, use the MySpace link and check out the whole thing. I came close to offering a money-back guarantee, but I don't make anything off the album.

I've just used Etta James' 'Complete Muscle Shoals Sessions' album as my warmup to it. I have religious objections to MySpace, but I'll get over it if you're that enthusiastic about it. You've got the evangelistic fervor of a fanboy, sir. Preach on!
