Details:
Their fourth release sees New Orleans' Johnny sketch and his crew a little older and a little wiser⦠but that ainât stopping them from laying down some deadly funk. Their trademark pyrotechnics are front and center on âThe Big Awesome,â while two more years spent touring the nationâs back roads â and an unusual recording studio in the woods â have imparted a flavor thatâs slightly smoky and hints of the old country.

They bridge tradition and ultra-modern swamp funk with tunes like âNew Dixieland,â a horn-heavy second-line extraordinaire, and the driving sea chantey âCora Leeâ. The Dirty Notes are known for their dirty rock, and so shall you recognize them; âI Just Liedâ is greasier than Southern-fried chicken. âKaiserâ, with its gritty grooves and distorted horns, is hard rock from a funkier dimension. Afro-beat and R&B merit the same attention to storytelling and songwriting, and time after time the Dirty Notes demonstrate their uncanny ability for not saying too much.
âGlory of God,â a poignant and powerful ode to one of natureâs strangest mysteries, closes out this sweat-drenched album. By that point, your speakers may have become a smoldering ruin, but youâll be asking for seconds.
