Flat Duo Jets "White Trees" 1993

Produced by Caleb Southern, White Trees is the Jets' second masterpiece, proof that Romweber can diversify without losing his frisky urgency. Sticking exclusively to originals, the boy spews out everything from boogie woogie ("Old Soul") to funky rock ("Daughter of the Jungle") to cornball country ("Husband of a Country Singing Star") to spooky mood pieces ("Rabbit Foot Blues"). Holy moly!
For all of you fans of early Elvis, Carl Perkins, Gene Maltais, and dozens of other lesser known rockabilly all stars The Flat Duo Jets were a two-piece raging piece of rock and roll history.
Thick with charged and expressive lyrics and screaming guitar riffs that range from subdued to convulsive White Trees is an amazing album. This album ranges from hauntingly beautiful with tracks like Rabbit Foot Blues, Cool Boys, and White Trees - to more surly and over the top performances such as How Long and Radioactive Man. This is a fantastic album. - By Paul Schmitt "http://www.gargantuanmedia.com" (Cincinnati, OH USA)
