The album opens with an instrumental version of The Whos Wont Be Fooled Again, which is unexpected for a band known mostly for swamp blues. All of the songs (mostly instrumentals) are new versions of 1970s songs. Theyre good if youre looking to mix up your playlist or if you need some instrumental backing whilst you speak to your audience.
Copeland, from Chicago, consistently puts on a good show, and this CD is no exception. It features powerful, insistent vocals along with critique of social issues. Influences include Ruth Brown, Koko Taylor and Etta James. The title seems to refer both to Copelands age (33) and the speed at which vinyl albums play on the turntable.
The opening number, Rotgut Run, has a nice driving on-the-road feel to it, building up momentum. Actually, transportation plays a big part on this album as a whole (V-8 Ford, Zydeco Train . . .) as do animals (Dog Days, Three Cool Cats, Monkey . . . ), all set to a toe-tapping beat.
