BILLY BACON & THE FORBIDDEN PIGS @320 (Thanks to Rohn1)
Fun rockin’ band that fans of Doug Sahm, Texas Tornados & Joe “King” Carrasco will enjoy.
Una Mas Cerveza! '91
http://www85.zippyshare.com/v/f7j0kvYW/file.html
The debut album by San Diego's Billy Bacon & the Forbidden Pigs (originally released just under the latter half of the band name, but reissued under the full moniker) sets the course that the trio has rarely deviated from in the ensuing years: elements of blues, country, rockabilly (particularly in lead guitarist Jerry "Hot Rod" DeMink's twangy delivery), swing and Tex-Mex combine like some sort of genetic experiment cross-breeding NRBQ's disdain for genre restrictions and Doug Sahm's unpretentious party aesthetic. The no-frills recording and punky immediacy of the rough-edged arrangements make Una Mas Cerveza! a bit more exciting than some of the comparatively slicker albums that followed: the title track has the sweaty immediacy of a prime Texas roadhouse-style conjunto tune, complete with the oompah waltz-time verses, and the slinky "Morenita Mia" has remained a huge fan favorite throughout the band's career.

13 Years of Bad Road '98
http://www85.zippyshare.com/v/raFLipvL/file.html
Billy Bacon & the Forbidden Pigs just keep tossing out one unpretentious blast of roots rock after another, and 1999's 13 Years of Bad Road is every bit as fun as the rest of 'em. A 1997 live gig in which the trio is spotted by a horn section and other guest musicians, this album is a neatly concise primer in what the band does. Basically, imagine a southwestern NRBQ minus Terry Adams' Dada daffiness and free jazz tendencies, with bits of conjunto and norteño seamlessly integrated into the rockabilly and soul influences. Highlights include the band's signature tune, "Una Mas Cerveza," given a hilarious high-drama spoken word intro, and a truly fantastic medley combining a slow, bluesy version of Freddy Fender's country weepie "Wasted Days and Wasted Nights" with Fernando Maldonado's conjunto staple "Volver, Volver," but the entirety of the lengthy set is wildly entertaining, even the lengthy swing revival set-closer, "Jump for Jive," which in lesser hands would sound like stylistic pandering to a then-fashionable craze. Newbies might want to start here for a quick introduction to what Billy Bacon & the Forbidden Pigs are all about, but long-term fans will be just as happy. (Allmusic)
Pork Que '00
http://www85.zippyshare.com/v/hJ3aAwRA/file.html
Yet another instant party on a platter from San Diego's long-running answer to both the Tex-Mex anthems of Joe "King" Carrasco & the Crowns and the rockabilly rave-ups of the Reverend Horton Heat, Pork Que basically adds nothing new to the proceedings: there are some relatively straightforward love songs (the sweet, NRBQ-like "Chase the Moon" and "Just Walk In," the country-fried "Pick Up the Pieces"), some twangy workouts for lead guitarist Jerry DeMink (the ripping "Two Can Play That Game"), and a few tracks that nod to pre-rock forms, like the swing-inspired "When It's Cold Outside." As always, however, the band's best efforts are the Latin-influenced tunes like "Tina Mas Fina" and the cool instrumental "Martha's Tacos." A couple of minor dogs fill out the album, most notably the generic bar band boogie of "Clown," but overall, fans of the band will find much to please them. (Allmusic)

Low Cut Connie - Hi Honey '15 @320
Hi Honey marks the point where Low Cut Connie make the leap to the big leagues -- which doesn't necessarily mean the group has grown up, however. Adam Weiner and Dan Finnemore retain a taste for the lowbrow, something that separates them from legions of overly tasteful retro-rockers and something that's evident not just within their lascivious lyrics but in the rock & roll of their rhythms. By trading heavily on those swinging, soulful rhythms -- a move underscored by the lead single, "Shake It Little Tina," a Tina Turner tribute worthy of its subject -- Hi Honey differentiates itself from the driving, old-time rock & roll of 2012's Call Me Sylvia but also the heavy blues riffs of the Black Keys, the only other 2010s band with a similar affection for the sounds and styles heard deep in crates of old vinyl. As Hi Honey makes plain, Low Cut Connie are at their heart a party band: they want to get you out of your seat and dancing. Weiner's pumping piano, alternating between barrelhouse pounding and a full-tilt Jerry Lee Lewis boogie, sets the pace -- rocking 88s do indeed give the music a bigger beat than just guitar and drums -- but the nifty thing about Hi Honey is how it's cleverly produced to replicate the kinetic sensation of hearing a stack of 45s being spun through an old jukebox. Once the rousing "Shake It Little Tina" fades, up comes the cinematic spookiness of "Diane (Don't Point That at Me)" -- its dusty minor chords accentuated by smears of cheapo organ -- which is countered by the compressed, hard-charging "Back in School." Other sounds straight out of '60s AM radio pop up throughout the album -- the fuzz guitar bouncing along to the Motown beat of "Taste So Good," the "Run Through the Jungle" makeover of Lead Belly's "Dickie's Bringin' Me Down," which also features guest guitar from Dean Ween (tUnE-yArDs' Merrill Garbus shows up on "Little Queen of New Orleans") -- but Low Cut Connie's smarts and energy keep this from feeling like a throwback. If Hi Honey is a resurrection, think of it as a rowdy revival tent: they're preaching the gospel of good old rock & roll sleaze and boogie, sounds that are always infectious when they sound as good as this.

Low Cut Connie - Hi Honey '15 @320
In the world of Low Cut Connie’s third album Hi Honey, the dank, dark waterfront dive has long since rung last call, but the true reprobates remain with their objects of the moment’s obsessions, having duked the wary barkeep to knock back one more shot and a beer while Jerry Lee Lewis and Ike and Tina Turner play on the jukebox, and wicked plans are hatched to unfurl during the final act of the night, until the inevitable and regrettable break of dawn.
Yeah, sure, plenty of rock bands have evoked this vibe in the past, from the Philadelphia quartet’s beloved R&B-tinged garage bands in the early ’60s to the Replacements at their best (and we’re talking the Bob Stinson days, not the current reunion). But deft keyboardist Adam Weiner and the band’s co-founder, drummer/guitarist Dan Finnemore, roam this familiar turf with such unbridled enthusiasm and deliciously sordid sarcasm that they make you believe they’re the only real rock ’n’ roll band in a world of fakes and poseurs.
In other words, they mean it, man. “He’s gonna have to sell his kidney if we don’t get a record deal by the end of June,” the boys sing of the title character in “Danny’s Out of Money.” And you get the sense that they’d do the same and consider it a bargain, so long as they get to get to continue churning out losers’ anthems such as “Shake It Little Tina,” “Dickie’s Bringing Me Down,” “Dumb Boy,” and “The Royal Screw.” We’re lucky that such delusional true believers remain and thrive, and this is their ideal soundtrack.

Low Cut Connie - Call Me Sylvia '12 @320
Low Cut Connie make rock & roll in the great, skank-brained tradition of the Replacements at their most platonically who-gives-a-shit. The band's excellent second record comes off like a drunk's glove compartment of influences: Piano-slapping New Jersey kid Adam Weiner digs Jerry Lee Lewis kicks, and Birmingham, England, transplant Dan Finnemore is a British Invasion fan, but there's garage rock, doo-wop, slop-Dylan country, boogie-woogie indie rock and "Boozophilia," a big chorused, weed-puffing party anthem that sounds like Captain and Tennille's "Love Will Keep Us Together" by way of the New York Dolls. (Rolling Stone)
So often when rock & roll keeps it real it sounds, well, old-fashioned: playing to rules written for a different time. That's not the case with Low Cut Connie and their second album, Call Me Sylvia. Sure, there are plenty of echoes of a hedonistic past ricocheting around Call Me Sylvia -- it's easy to pick out the Stones and the Replacements, or the wild mercury sound of Dylan at his amphetamine prime -- and Low Cut Connie pledges allegiance to a boozy boogie that's been out of style since at least the Carter administration, but the remarkable thing about this cheerfully dirty quartet is that they're never living in the past, never expending energy in capturing the perfect forgotten reverb or rearranging their record collection into a meticulous collage. Low Cut Connie just barrel forth -- they pick up their guitars and play loudly, making a noise with whatever amps happen to be lying around. The difference isn't just attitude, it's instrumentation; unlike so many rock & roll groups of the last 20 years, Low Cut Connie are anchored by the pounding piano of Adam Weiner, and those rocking '88s gives the group real swing and sleaze, elements missing even in such otherwise excellent rock & roll throwbacks as the White Stripes or the Black Keys. That palpable big beat electrifies Call Me Sylvia, but Low Cut Connie aren't only about sound -- they're crack songwriters, bashing out big hooks and riffs in songs that are sharp, clever, and funny without succumbing to cutesiness. Like the best rock & roll of any era, this lives passionately and messily for the moment, and as Call Me Sylvia spills forth, it's hard not to get swept into its giddy, filthy joy.
