Joe Jack Talcum • Joe Jack Talcum sings Railroad Bill and Other Songs

• released 2020-09-11

A sparse yet not simple outing for this member of the Dead Milkmen, including some truly folksy stuff like the title track and “Cool Water”, and surprisingly sophisticated original tracks delivered in the same man-and-his-acoustic guitar aesthetic.

BRONCHO &bull; <i>Natural Pleasure</i>

Dynamite Shakers &bull; <i>Don't Be Boring</i>

Dynamite Shakers • Don't Be Boring

Unbridled rock and roll from the west of France, where the vehicles may be smaller but where the spirit of le garage lives on, giving us good opportunity to apply the term "howling" and generally act as American as a keg party in the woods.
