Pick Of The Week: "John Paul Keith-Memphis Circa 3AM"




Very quietly making its way onto the street last week is John Paul Keith's new release on Fat Possum. "Memphis Circa 3AM" just passes the 30 minute mark, the way a great album should.  For his third LP, JPK stays with the same dynamite formula, mixing the best of his influences to create something simple, solid and absolutely wonderful.  The Beatles and Buddy, Nick Lowe and Roy Orbison all appear here in spirit. This has not left my turntable for the last 48 hours. Please check it out and BUY IT HERE.

Excellent album! I grabbed a killer song of his "Never Could Say No" from his previous album and never followed up on it. Looks like it's worth getting.
