Blues Matters March 2001 ( UK)

Radiotones– Whiskey’d Up

Moody acoustic slide and gruff vocals. It’s kind of the blues meets The Pogues and Preacher Boy…and where’s the bloody bottle, I need a drink!

The music is good, very good once you get used to it as it is so different.

There’s some super-duper National Steel slide ‘n’harp here in great doses, light on the ear but heavy on intensity and great urges to tap your feet (and take a swig here and there).

Loved ‘Cool It". Liked the lyric: "…small things you been thinking add up to so much more…" from No More Mr Nice Guy.

Must get to see these guys live.
