I just got the chance to listen to Americana Made by The Mighty Cash Cats - Michael J. & Leticia. This is an unusual recording covering Johnny Cash's career from Sun Records to the Rick Ruben American Recordings. Decked out in black and using Cash's vocal inflections, Michael J. and Leticia plus the addition to a few tunes by Hank Williams, Tim Hardin and Carl Perkins as well as two original numbers. The band, in addition to Michael J. Smith on vocal, guitar, Hammond and bass; Leticia Blumette on vocal, bass and guitar and strongly supported by Jarold Davis on lead guitars and vocals; and Justin Young on drums. The tunes included are Jackson, Tennessee Flattop Box, Ghost Riders in The Sky, No More Lonely Days and Empty Nights, Long Legged Guitar Picking Man, If I Were A Carpenter, Jambalaya, Wildwood Flower and The Dancer. The tribute is well throughout and performed. Leticia's vocals are particularly clear and interesting on Jambalaya.
Need some Cash... here you go!
