The Juke Joint Pimps are a duo of a decade’s standing, who play fifties style Chicago electric blues with garage punk surface noise. Deacon T thwacks out tantalizingly truncated licks whilst the Reverend Mike blows harp and hollers enthusiastically from behind a stand-up kit.
Only the occasional misplaced vocal inflection reveals the duo are in fact German, and plough a lonesome twelve bar furrow in the Rhine delta.
There can be few blues variants further removed from the source than these Cologne-based revivalists, but The Juke Joint Pimps’ low-tech approach has a pungent veracity.
