Juke Joint Romp

Shes the Blues

Juke Joint Romp  (available at CDBaby and online platforms) is Goin’ down South’s third independent release of original material following 2014’s debut Young American Double Action Revolver and 2017’s Bottoms Up.   
Highlighted Tracks:  Title track “Juke Joint Romp” takes a picture deep in the swamp where hips shake and feet tromp to the Mississippi Stomp.  “Keep on Rollin’” laces a Hubert Sumlin flavored lick over a Hill Country box car rhythm, recalling a stroll down Beale Street.   Talking about a girl who’s always a step ahead, “Delta Rose” features greasy slide and blistering harp work over a laid-back, two-step brush beat.
The recording is filled with musicality, catchy hooks and irresistible, dance inducing grooves.  If guitar pyrotechnics and one-size-fits-all arrangements are how you take your blues, look elsewhere!  Juke Joint Romp is Goin’ down South’s faithful restoration of the spit-and-sawdust roots tradition sourced from the heart of blues
