The Blasters

To peg these brilliant performers as a Rockabilly band is missing the beauty and range of their songwriting.


Sometimes you hit a nice vein of gold when you hear a good bar band, and they seem to be on to something good and raw, but you need a pickaxe and a lot of time to weed the slag from the Au. On the other hand, The Blasters are a veritable mountain of that shimmery element called American Rock n Roll. It's just sitting there in front of you in all its glory. There is no effort in enjoying The Blasters, for they just hand out the dynamite.

The songs range from Chicago blues to driven California surf guitar instrumentals to Memphis to Detroit to right down deep in our collective heart.
