Flat Duo Jets "Flat Duo Jets" 1990

Another KICKS @SS, rare one & a favorite band in the same vein as SCOTS! The legendary first foot-wide release by the Duo Jets, recorded in a garage to two tracks. Tone Meyer (bass) was the third wheel on the Jets landing gear during this time. Still considered one of the best garage / rockabilly albums ever recorded!
That's no greasy middle-aged man, that's Dexter Romweber, a greasy younger cat from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, whose hillbilly guitar and soulful pipes recapture the primitive off-the-cuff brilliance of early rockabilly (as in Jerry Lee Lewis, not the Stray Cats). While other fans of the old stuff simply try to replicate the past, Flat Duo Jets — usually just Dex and drummer Crow — somehow become the real thing, displaying nary a hint of nostalgia.
The six appealingly shabby tracks of In Stereo cover the Coasters, Bo Diddley, Buddy Holly et al., but the first full album is unalloyed brilliance. Wailin', hootin' and generally acting like a country boy headed straight for hell, Romweber runs on pure forward momentum through mindless rockers like "Wild Wild Lover" and "Please Please Baby," then becomes a backwoods Romeo for wonderfully oily ballads like "Baby" and "Dreams Don't Cost a Thing."
