Long Black Sedan create hillbilly rock for the tequila and tattoo set who live for ass-kickin', lick-oriented, guitar-based music that pounds you from the speakers. Their latest release, Louisiana Prison, is characterized by the raw vocal shreddings of Dylan Dunbar and the potent blues-infused lead-guitar work by both he and Joe Nestico. This CD takes me back to the southern-fried, red-neck bands I grew up with such as pre-eighties ZZ Top (track 6 "The Other Side"), Molly Hatchett, Lynard Skynard and Blackfoot (track 5, "I'm Not The One" nearly caused me to launch into a chorus of "Highway Song"). But there's also traces of punk-a-billy boys Social Distortion on high R.P.M tracks like "Hillbilly Hot-Rodder".
In any case, Louisiana Prison is packed with what I like to call "field-party" music for a long, hot summer. These are jams you can blast into the sticks while your tail-gatin' on the two-track and wailing on your air guitar. Just be sure to bring a friend; there's so many tasty guitar licks on this CD you're fingers will be too cramped to hold onto the liquor bottle.
A special live surprise hidden on this CD will delight hardcore blues fans.

They Call I Black by Ghetto Priest

Hear Ghetto Priest's "They Call I Black" on BandCamp.com According to the bio, Ghetto Priest is a former "football hooligan" turned petty criminal, gang-member, prisoner, Rastafarian, DJ and finally, having lived a hard life, survived it, and honed his natural talent, became a staple on the UK roots reggae label OnUSound Productions run by Adrian Sherwood. I became familiar with 'Priest's music through a collaborative release in 2011 ("The Lion Of Judah Hath Prevailed; The Process Meets Ghetto Priest") with the Saginaw rock-reggae outfit The Process. That record included 'Priest's song "Ghetto Life", which captured the essence of the same with a sedated but serious reggae vibe. The single was intended to be a sneak-peek of an as yet unreleased full-length title called "Sacred Ground" slated for release sometime later in 2012. But for now, Ghetto Priest offers another peek into his process with a limited-edit...

South Normal Meets The 3 Headed Evil Genius

Frog Island Park 5.26.06: It’s a balmy spring evening at Frog Island Park near Ypsilanti’s historic Depot Town. Despite what you might expect, there’s no island in sight and any of the legendary, fur-covered, flying “smeet” frogs that might be lurking among the moss-covered rocks have yet to make their presence known. But the week’s rains have finally subsided leaving a dense blanket of humidity in their wake and allowing tonight’s big plans to commence after yesterday’s cancellation. Frog Island Park consists of a large sunken field surrounded by trees and grass-covered banks. According to a local resident, it acts as an emergency flood basin for the nearby Huron River, but it’s mostly used for soccer games, community events and Ypsilanti’s annual Jazz Festival. Tonight it will be ground-zero for a unique performance featuring South Normal , a popular indie-rock band from Chelsea, MI. A break in an overgrown tree line reveals the park’s street-level entrance. A handwritten sign is...
