KEY LIME PIE
Cookin' (self-released)

The good news is that this album isn't even close to being as bad as the cover suggests - the cover sports a photo of a woman dressed as a waitress with a kitchen exploding behind her, and that just suggests Bad Heavy Metal to me. However, the disc contains 12 tracks of decent, fun hillbilly rock and adult contemporary jazz, like a cross between Steely Dan and Lynard Skynard without all the references to boozin', shootin', or misogyny. The instrumentation is great, with cool wailing harmonica interludes, unexpected jazzy rhythms, and pleasant male and female vocals.
