Free Music Notes for I'm a Lucky Guy

Free Music Review: This Ain't No Blues Jam
Hit: 5 Stars

Okay, this release isn't as bluesy as the previous effort, but by the grace of God it is pure gold. It's still noisy, but this time there's a bit more of a rock influence, and with guys this talented you know that's a good thing.

Rock has its roots in the blues, so this is a natural progression for 20 Miles, one of the more original bands out there that should be much bigger than what it is. When I say "original," I don't mean original sounding. No, this is stuff you've heard before if you've studied music. By original, I mean 20 Miles is doing its own thing. Nobody else is doing this, and if they are, they aren't doing it this good.

"I'm A Lucky Guy" isn't just a song title. It's what you'll be if you find this.

I'm a Lucky Guy Poster

Jon Spencer Blues Explosion guitarist Judah Bauer needed to recharge his batteries after all the wear and tear of traveling from gig to gig on the endless rock highway. So he teamed up with his drum-playing brother Donovan in New York City and formed a miniband called 20 Miles, making a blues CD before following up with this album of primal, bare-bones rock. According to their record company, the brothers' rock music is in the mold of the early-'70s Stones and Faces. But the dozen songs here, among them the vaguely lyrical "Pure as Gold" and the apocalyptic "Highwater," suggest even stronger connections to the Modern Lovers, the Velvet Underground, the New York Dolls, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and a flock of '60s garage bands that worshipped at the altar of blues heroes like Slim Harpo and Muddy Waters. The young Bauers are neither slaves to the past nor imitators, though, and they project a sense of discovery when singing, wrestling notes out of the guitar, spanking the skins, or blowing harmonica. --Frank-John Hadley
