Phil Alvin's second solo date, County Fair 2000 continues his thorough exploration of Americana with references to tap dancing ("Low Down Rhythm"), Ellingtonia ("The Terror"), Delta blues ("That Thing"), New Orleans brass bands ("Danny Boy's Mourning Sunset"), rockabilly/country ("County Fair 2000"), automobiles ("Wreck Your V-8 Ford"), and the Jimmy Reed-styled "Oh, Doctor." Alvin has the good taste to employ an impressive list of guests including the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Billy Boy Arnold, Cesar Rosas from Los Lobos, James Intveld, and members of the Blasters (without brother Dave Alvin.) County Fair 2000 leaves no doubt that Phil Alvin is a premier musicologist, preserving and staying true to what he loves. (Allmusic)

Another in the continuing series of new music from other countries that might be hard to find, here comes Norway’s own The Yum Yums. They are back in action with another hopping, bopping, power-popping collection of fun filled chewy bubblegummy sweetness! They know what their strengths are, and they exploit them to the tippity top. There is no hidden meaning here, just songs about love, music and candy. As it should be!
I love that with The Yum Yums, I can pop in any of their albums and immediately cheer up. This album made me want to pull out those other albums that had been collecting dust. If you are not yet aware of this band, rectify it soon. Even though you can’t easily get this new album yet, check out their older releases available on Amazon, iTunes, Spotify, etc.
Thanks!
