5.0 out of 5 stars Raw and Irreverent!, June 24, 2000

I stumbled on to this CD and bought it on a hunch, and it was one of the best hunches I've ever had. This CD is full to the brim with good, solid Blues that a listener can sink their teeth into! Despite the modern sounding name, this bank is playing the Blues in the old tradition, the way it was intended-- raw and rough and irreverent. I have had this CD for about a year, and it has become one of the time-tested favorites in my collection. The band is gritty and witty. You can't miss with this disc!

I found out about Microwave Dave & The Nukes after reading Stephen King's final column in Entertainment Weekly - the January 7, 2011 edition. I am so glad I took a few minutes to read the column and then follow through on Uncle Stevie's advice. He mentioned their performance of "Highway 49" on YouTube; I watched and listened to that and then tracked down this album.

There's not a song on this album that I dislike. This is rip snorting blues at its best. I especially like:

Last Call For Alcohol
Born to Boogie Woogie
Don't You Just Know It
Start Me To Drinkin'
Highway's Like A Woman

I love discovering new (to me) talent and hearing great music. This album surely fits that description. Thanks for the swan "song" advice, Uncle Stevie.

After hearing this group on the 'What do Ya Know?' show on NPR I decided to get their CD for my husband. This is a fun, gritty, upbeat kind of blues CD that both my husband and I have enjoyed a lot. Not a lot of polish, but if it was then it wouldn't be the blues, right?
