On many occasions we get CD's that come across our desk here at Sea of Tranquility that simply do not fit the type of music we cover. However, in some of these instances, the music that these bands have created contains elements that certainly might appeal to our readers, most of whom fill their lives with a regular intake of metal, prog rock, and fusion. The latest from the Twang Dragons, Love Junkie, happens to fall into that category. This four piece band from Wisconsin play a rockin' mix of roots rock, blues, country, bluegrass, and fiery Southern Rock, featuring the sultry vocals of Lisa Hannon and the multi-faceted talents of guitarist Tommy Dixon. The thirteen tracks here will get you tapping your feet and clapping your hands, as the music is filled with Dixon's silky smooth electric guitar, soaring pedal steel, and nasty slide licks, while the cagey rhythm section of bassist Mark Nauman and drummer Scott Defebaugh keeps things in a tight groove. The lovely Lisa Hannon has a sweet voice that at times can get quite smokey as well, on occasion reminding a little of Janis Joplin.
If you have an open mind, and don't mind country flavored rock music with some virtuoso guitar playing that you can certainly get on your feet and dance to, this one just might be for you.
