Comin Down, Crackin Up

Uncle Joe's Big Ol' Driver, "Red Room," 1994. The leadoff track to my Alt.Exile is also the leadoff track to UJBOD's self-titled debut. It's ok if you like rock 'n' roll shot out of a cannon. Dave Jass (lead vocals, upper left) and Andrew McKeag (backup vocals, lower right) do the 100 mph dual guitar weave as George Vidaurri (bass, lower left) and Paul Brewin (drums, upper right) hold down the pocket. There's a brief downshift before the band barrels headlong to the finish. RIYL: Thin Lizzy, Mats, 1986-90 Soul Asylum, Slobberbone & Grand Champeen.
