Sixty Watt Shaman
“Seeds of Decades”
(Spitfire Records)
Yee-haw! Dem boys from back East knows how to rock. Yep, damned if it dont sound like Jethro Tull and Lynyrd Skynyrd done had themselves a baby and named it Sixty Watt Shaman. Des boys new record Seeds of Decades sounds like somethin I used to hear on Uncle Jebs 8-Track stereo system a few years back. Lots a dem geetars and screamin and such, as yall might be expectin to hear from a bunch a fellas who, judgin from the photo on da cover of this here CD, seem to wear themselves an awful lot of flannel. Not to be suggestin that they sound a lots like those grunge bands that came outta the Pacific Northwest a couple a years ago. Sure, a couple a tracks might a reminded me a little bit of those fellers that got themselves that band Soundgarden (I seen them once on a TeeVee in Lil Rock) but Sixty Watt Shaman is a little more roots rock-and-roll. Gonna be tough to find people wholl like this here record outside of Virginia, but yall never can tell. If that Latin music can make a comeback, well Hell, anythin be possible, I suppose.
