Stunning seventies-drenched country blues on authentic-sounding debut album from Minneapolis-based band, Chooglin'
Review
The ethnic music from America continues to amaze. Apparently recorded in a hamburger joint halfway New York and California, if there's any truth to be found in its sleeve design, Chooglin' stun the world with their album 'Sweet Time'.
With their mature brass arrangements and powerful blues, Chooglin' have survived the swamps. Their seventies drenched country-blues sounds refreshingly new to the unaware ear. Oddly enough, 'Sweet Time' sounds at points rather like a New Orleans album ,taking some of its concepts from funeral music, although mentioning this does absolutely no justice to their fiery performance. Deafening blues rock or boozed-out pub rock, ask Chooglin' and they'll deliver.
