Dave King Trucking Company: Surrounded by the Night
In trentasei minuti suddivisi in sette brani King e company danno vita ad un concentrato di energia, divertimento, tradizione americana, song-forms, esuberanza ritmica, pillole country e richiami blues davvero esaltanti. Nessun brano passa inosservato. "Delta Kreme" -melodia killer, fiati da urlo -sono i tre minuti iniziali che accendono la miccia e la portano a lenta combustione verso i fuochi d'artificio successivi.
Che arrivano con "Parallel Sister Track" -riff sporchi, sax aggressivi, chitarra carica di elettricità -e continuano con "You Should Be Watching (Art) Films," brano che parte con swing boppistico per trasformarsi in altro grazie all'assolo spiritato di Erik Fratzke, fidato compagno di avventura di King nella band di culto Happy Apple. E via di questo passo fino a "Don't Be Suspect of a Gift," l'esplosione finale, una gioia per le orecchie e l'irresistibile impulso a tenere premuto a oltranza il tasto repeat.
