Release: Rick Estrin & The Nightcats - Groovin' In Greaseland 2017
Estrin en zijn beroemde band van virtuozen presenteren een andere besmettelijke collectie van zweep-smart blues, gevuld met crafty songwriting en buitengewone muzikaliteit. De nummers zijn verrukkelijk wily en verwrongen lyrisch, moeiteloos strakke en speelse muzikaal.
