TH' LEGENDARY SHACK SHAKERS
Cockadoodledon't (Bloodshot)
Reviewed by John Sekerka
Legendary? Only a matter of time. Col. J.D. Wilkes and Joe Buck have churned out a crazed hillbilly fused blues platter guaranteed to set any barn dance ablaze. Smoking harp blowing, delicate banjo picking, thundering guitar blasts - it's all here folks. Best part is the colonel's wicked mike demeanor as he yalps and croons his own particular brand of heavy bluegrass dementia. There's no doubting the man when he wails "my brain is broken" - but it's a good kinda broke. The kind that results in riveting devil music: blood will boil, knees will shake and sorry asses'll jump around till exhaustion. No fixin' required if'n you know what I mean.
