5.0 out of 5 stars beyond 5 star album!, February 4, 2004

This review is from: Go Go Harlem Baby (Audio CD)

This album is an excellent one to own if you consider yourself a well rounded music lover. It is a spectacular sample of musicians that LOVE to PLAY! I saw These guys in Omaha once, and they were beautiful. This is root rock genius. I firmly recommend all of the Flat Duo Jets albums, as there is so much creativity and genuine love of music in each one. These guys love what they do and it only makes you want to hear it again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars If there is a better band than the Flat Duo Jets, I haven't heard them., February 3, 2009

She Ra "princess of power" (Athens, Ga, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Go Go Harlem Baby (Audio CD)

Dex Romweber is a maniacal genius. From the growling rock and gut-twisting moaning of "Flat Duo Jets Anthem" through the dark, dangerous, cascading classical piano dare of "Ask Me How I Live," he jumps down your throat and stays in the pit of your stomach, constantly knotting up and releasing, sending a rush of blood and nervous energy through your fingers and to the tip of your tongue, setting off an almost spiritual fervor that will brand your heart with a Silvertone guitar. All at once heart-stopping, mania-inducing, charmed, unlucky and damn-near tangible, "Go Go Harlem Baby" is a religious revival for every backwoods kid who grew up within the isolation of their own perceived surroundings, never sure where to turn for a friend. Dex Romweber makes finding that friend as easy as turning on your stereo.

Not a record for those prone to panic attacks, but rather for those looking for something visceral in a desensitized world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bargain bin gem, March 1, 2005

I picked this up at some corporate store bargain rack and what a buy!! Dex rocks out great originals and puts a mean rockabilly edge on some weathered chestnuts like You Belong To Me, Harlem Nocturne.
