<"b00001qeoa4999"> Album Description
The blues world took notice when junkyardmen released 'scrapheap full of blues' in 1998. The critics raved and the fans followed in growing numbers. 'keep on workin' features twelve new songs and more of the acrobatic harmonica virtuosity of Billy Gibson; more meaty guitar and vocals from Jesse Hoggard; still more fine vocals and potent songwriting from drummer John Scalici, and the smooth, solid bass playing of Kevin Sheahan. Produced by Jim Gaines, this rockin' blues recording has an energy and chemistry that keep junkyardmen one step ahead of the blues heap. "Cadillac" is a catchy, original perspective on the virtues of having the right set of wheels while "Cadillac dreamin' in my Catalina." If "junkyardman" was the signature song from their first release, then "keep on workin" is the new anthem for these four musicians intent on playing the best blues you'll hear anywhere.
