The Bottle Kids - "Such A Thrill" (2013)

The Bottle Kids

"Such A Thrill" (2013)

Who says you can't revisit the past? 

Those warm fuzzy classic power pop feelings are just a CD spin away with the force of nature that calls itself "The Bottle Kids". Recycling, or should I say "re-purposing", the essence of musical idols like Harrison, Badfinger, Matthew Sweet, Jellyfish, The Hollies, The Who, and even The Beatles to name just a few ... singer/songwriter/one-man-band Eric Blakley throws it all against the pop/rock wall of sound and surprise! Everything sticks! In your head for days! Ear-worms abound!

And you know how I love a intelligent lyric - Anybody who can work Kerouac and Hemingway into a line is Pulitzer material in my book!

Who says you can't take a look back? Not I!

Here's the plan: Grab a copy of The Bottle Kids CD ... insert in deck ... sit back and feel the unstoppable grin spread across your face. 

The CD is "Such A Thrill" on so many levels -  Give it a listen and I'm positive you'll agree!

The Duckworth Lewis Method - "Sticky Wickets" (2013)

The Duckworth Lewis Method

"Sticky Wickets" (2013)

On this jaw-dropping, genre-blending follow-up to their self entitled debut disc - Messrs. Duckworth and Lewis wear their influences on their collective sleeve with nods to the legends that are The Who, The Beatles, the Stones, Prince, Steely Dan, ELO, and even Hatfield and the North(?)! 

From pop to prog from rock to funk, leaving no genre untouched before it's time, this ain't cricket... it's "Sticky Wickets" and it's music to my ears.

Kudos to Neil Hannon (Divine Comedy) and Thomas Walsh (Pugwash) - "Sticky Wickets" is a joy to listen to again and again - and that's well played, Gentlemen - well played!
