Andy Sharrocks & The Smokin' Jackets are a Americana blues band from the UK with an eye on the past. Dirt is adequate titlle for their new album , a collection Vodka fueled songs carrying on the tradition of the Animals and John Mayall.
Andy Sharrocks has the twang and the snarl to get the the attention of his audience. All songs were written by Andy Sharrocks and guitar player Paul Green - stories about the road, love lost and death. The album sounds a bit flat at times, but it's obvious that they are dead serious. And by the way - the blues wasn't meant to be sounding nice and crisp.
Dirt is a self-released album. Buy it from the band's website.
