Roy Loney & The Longshots "Drunkard In The Think Tank" 2004

Roy Loney returns to center stage with his first full-length studio release in 10 years. 'Drunkard In The Think Tank' is again a collaboration with the Seattle based congregation, The Longshots. Roy Loney was a founding member of Flamin' Groovies. - amazonRoy Loney is back and he is better than ever ! This long awaited CD brought to us by the perfectly classy Career records is far better than expected compared to Roy's previous release ("full grown head"). We have here everything to delight the true Roy fans who have followed him since his old Flamin Groovies days and later whith his fantabulous power band, the Phantom Movers.
On "Drunkard in the Think Tank" you have the impression you are listening to some lost song from "Flamingo" or from "Out after dark" and "The scientist bombs away". The longshots are the backing band,they sound like enjoying themselves.
This CDs contains true rockers like the opening "House of Games" or "steam", but my true favourite is the mid tempo "five times a fool" which has such a Roy Orbison touch. "He talks to himself" and "Doggone fine" are classic Loney tunes which will not disappoint the afficionados. It is a positive CD which makes you smile, Roy is out of time just himself singing his little pieces of rock nuggets. I highly recommend this CD. - By J. Balltrax:
