Brent Burkhart joins the queue of post-Seasick Steve floorboard-stomping bluesmen, and trails the usual mis-spent childhood story, losing his eye tormenting snakes on stage with his Pentecostal revivalist family.
Hymns to Jesus, Satan, booze, blues and drugs are barked one-man-band style over kick drum and rusted electric guitar, but despite the authentic Flannery O’Connor flourishes of the Reverend’s press biog the album reeks a little of artifice, even as it corrodes your eardrums and sets your toes a-tappin’.
That said, the endearing huckster’s reading of the standard Jesus On The Mainline swings more than convincingly.
