CD Description
With their lurching sea shanties, debauched murder ballads, messed-up tangos and whiskey-soaked gypsy stomps, some reckon they're from the same stable of stallions as Tom Waits and Nick Cave; others point out the last gang in town swagger of The Clash and the hellbound blues that John Lee Hooker first dragged out of the swamp. Featuring between 7 to 12 musicians playing - guitars, drums, fiddle, trumpet, banjo, washboard, upright bass, gong, mandolin, accordion, harmonicas, saxophone and even empty bottles & tie racks to build their unique Bourbon Soaked Gypsy Blues Bop N Stroll

First heard Urban Voodoo Machine on "Loose Ends" (Radio 4 - Saturdays). Immediately Googled the band and found suitable offers on Amazon. Got this; and haven't stopped boogying around the kitchen to it since !! If I were younger it would be my favourite party-livener. But; as I am now 70, I am grateful for the new lease of life. Thankyou "middle-class" Radio 4 - and Amazon, of course !!!!!

Heard these people, improbably, on BBC Radio 4, and was instantly hooked! The leader is, perhaps also improbably, a Norwegian, and there's about a dozen of them altogether. This is not for the faint hearted, of those of a delicate disposition - it's raw, doesn't take itself too seriously, and much of the subject matter is pretty dark really - but somehow it makes you smile! Great driving music. As for the style, well, the nearest I can get is Blues Brothers meets the Pogues, with added deranged gypsy violins. There are nods to bad-ass rock'n'roll, spaghetti westerns, and possibly even the Rocky Horror Picture Show, and I suspect their tongues are firmly in their cheeks musically a lot of the time. They sound like they are having a blast, and the use of lots and lots and lots of real instruments, played with gusto, is invigorating. I'm off to buy their other album too!

Very refreshingly strange and original - but hard to categorize. Raw, Earthy, bawdy, bluesy, and was that a bit of klezmer?
Great for driving buy it now!
