Dan Kelly
Posted in Music on February 18th, 2007 by FKG
Today I bought Dan Kelly and the Alpha Males’s first album sing the Tabloid Blues. As I was trawling through the cds at a discount music shop in the city, I spotted the album. I remembered I had wanted it for a very long time, but had forgotten about it as my albums-to-get-list just kept building up.
The first time I heard Dan Kelly belt out Checkout Cutie was at the BDO, I knew I just had to have the album just for that song alone. It is the first track on the album. Which is a great way to hook the listener for more of Dan’s bluesy-type earnest singing, music that can only be described as “rollicking” with Dan’s cracking guitar riffs, and lyrics reminiscent of old school pop rock which told hormonal driven stories of love, loneliness and booze.
Song of the day: Checkout Cutie
