Thank the lord for America. For red necks, cowboys, endless highways, mini malls, black coffee – and the blues. From the 1930s Mississippi Delta players to John Lee Hooker, Tom Waits to The White Stripes, only Americans truly know how to sing the blues. Back Alley Jesus is the sound of a drunk, hopeless individual who has nothing to live for but the strings on his guitar and the whisky in his cup. A one man band playing punk rock blues that reaches into your gut and messes up your insides. The sort of sound that makes you want to sit in a dark room smoking cigarettes. Rebellion – the good old-fashioned way. (Niki Khoroushi)
