Last Resort Mexico - The Blind Dead McJones Band - New Release Review

I've got something a little different here. I just received the new release, Last Resort Mexico, from The Blind Dead Mc Jones Band. Although definitely a blues based band, this band is more along the lines of The Dwarfs, Gas Huffer or maybe Mudhoney. If you like your blues with a bit of punk and a lot of grit...here you go. Blind Dead Mc Jones is a blues rocker with telling of things to come. Hang On There Boys is a bit more of a straight up rocker. It's got all of the components that I have described and if you like that sound... it's here and strong. B3D is more of a story telling song with the eerie background. Try Some Wrong starts off with a cool guitar riff and sounds a bit more bluesy but still with a lot of grit... say half way between the Keys and the Pistols. Not bad at all. Rumblehead lays back into the punk rock grit but a bit more polished. Real Cool Time is a bit more loose and has a cool sound. BOOBZ keeps the roll not changing a lot from earlier tunes. The track has a story telling segment and a rocking segment. Haunted is a frantic rocker again with a punky edge... possibly the best track on the cd, just reinforcing the intentions of the recording. Elephant On A Lead is another cool track with a story told behind a loose rhythm track. I like it! Last Resort Mexico takes the rocker route again more Motorhead than Muddy but very cool. Guitarist Alex Eden cuts loos with an uncharacteristic guitar solo on this track. Wolf Howl is straight up blues, provided on this bonus track. Now of course it will always have a twist but gives the band a chance to stretch out. The band is Ben "Buddy" Slack  Guitar, vocals, Andy "the cake" Johnson" Bass, BV's and Steve "Wee-Man" Nixon on Drums and BV . If you like it rough... and you like a little punk... get in line.

Blind Dead McJones - The Blind Dead McJones Band

Blind Dead McJones was never a fan of being in the spotlight, no number 1 singles, cheesy videos or appearances on celebrity cooking programmes. A true Bluesman in every sense of the word, living a life on the road shrouded in mystery. Some say he died years ago in an agriculture related accident, some say he is part of the keyzer soze family and some say he now makes Halloween costumes for dogs. One thing we know for sure is he is responsible for bringing together the blues rock behemoth that is The Blind Dead McJones Band.

Back in 2008 McJones was a lost and tortured soul, wandering the earth just like Kane in Kung Fu. Battling with his demons and struggling to keep going through the Hell that is the music business. All he needed was a friendly face, a pack of smokes and something to help him once again shake the earth to its very core, bring grown men to tears, turn sophisticated women once again into sreaming schoolgirls, and well and truly cement his place alongside the Gods.
