The Grease Band . . . .on their own | AQUARIUM DRUNKARD

 More from the Drunkard! . . . . . . 

The Grease Band

Like a dusty ten-dollar bottle of bonded bourbon you didn’t know was in the cabinet, Grease Band is a little bit of countrified heat that’ll sure as hell cure what ails you. It’s a loose, shambolic gem whose ragged swagger and earthy charms sound as good on Sunday morning as they do on Friday night.

Now I loved the Grease Band and those early moments of backing Joe Cocker and never quite understand why any leaving of them was anything more than merely temporary, they seemed like HIS band, he could easily have gone back and carried on the marriage IMHO but hey . . . . . check them out here and the article is as fascinating as the 43 minute YouTube posting . . . . . go there to get it, and I will post this!
