Stripped-down often equates to raw. The Lonesome Spurs' debut, self-titled disc is anything but. Somehow this duo lays it on lush with little more than a coupla guitars and a Samsonite suitcase for a kick drum. Guitarist Danny B.Harvey (ex-Rockats, ex-13 Cats) plays slick and clean rockabilly guitar alongside Lynda Kay's powerful honky-tonkin' pipes. It's pure juke joint joy and not the least bit dated despite the Spurs' obvious preference for the tried 'n' true side of the classic Americana street. They bust out a coupla standards like Glen Troutman's "One Cup Of Coffee" but stay original for the most part. Sexy, swingin,' and fun. A great record for sipping a cold one or dancing with a warm one.
