TRAIN ROLLS ON
The Blowtard Whistle ceases to trumpet its hideous alarm when the Allman funk and jamotronic sounds of Greenlight Caravan come out of the speakers. In fact, it whimpers in morbid silence and awe at the gymnastic chops and gravy train ramming grooves of these Lafayette dude rockers. Like I said, its half jam, half rock, half funk, half earth dude (as can be inferred from the title of the CD, Mother Earth Revival). That’s too many halves and not enough have nots, but who’s counting when you get 14 pretty killer tunes of local rock and roll, played well and lightly seared? The album even features guest appearances from Joe Smith of Edgar Winter’s White Trash band — proudly stated in bold in the liner notes. Do it. Buy one at CDbaby.com or possibly Barnes & Noble. — Dege Legg
