Now if you're going to perform in an establishment like that mentioned in the title of this album then you sure as hell need to shout pretty loudly just to get some attention with all the other delights on offer. This mob do that and then some with their energetic, raw and raucous take on Chicago blues.
Opener 'Milk Shaka' sets the tone as it boogies fiercely with rough vocals, blueswailing harp and an extraordinary distorted guitar sound. It's horrible and I love it. Having announced their presence the band keep up the
intensity with 'Second Hand Snuff' which rocks along in fine style with growled vocals, fierce harp riffing and the band joining in on the shouted vocal chorus.
The material is all self-penned, authentic sounding and well written and although nothing particularly new these guys have obviously learnt their lessons well. 'High On The Night Train' features a rocking train rhythm and some frenetic slide guitar licks. 'Weed Smokin' Man' rides on a funky electric piano riff and female backing vocals. The slow blues 'I Pity The Horse' allows the band to stretch out a little with some more considered guitar and piano solos. A touch of rockabilly is introdoced with 'T. K.' and then we get three tracks recorded live at House Of Rock Kouvola, Finland.
Yes, this 5 piece band come from Finland although you cannot tell from the playing or vocals. Titty Bar Tim does his best Kim Wilson impression on vocals and harp to warn us of the dangers of the 'Evil Weed' and then we get a long Slim Harpo style instrumental workout on 'Mike's Boogie'. The album closes with the even longer 'Helsinki Bound' a slow blues featuring a guest sax player and also a guest mobile phone tinkler in the audience.
I enjoyed this unpretentious, rough and ready album and the next time I'm in downtown Helsinki on a wet Monday night in February I shall keep my eyes open for the Titty Bar and I expect a rollicking good night out.
