Feeling a bit blue after a steady diet of wine and turkey for the last few weeks? Need something that will blow away the cobwebs a little? This could be just about perfect!

Their album “The Savage Heart” expands the sonic remit of The Jim Jones Revue way beyond their renowned brand of manic rock ’n’ roll, to include exciting new musical territory in the form of tribal stomps, field hollers, a capella spirituals, and even a doo-wop ballad.

You can’t ask for much more than that, right? They remind me a lot of the Blues Explosion, which isn’t a bad thing. They play Whelans on Thursday the 24th of Jan, with tickets at a nice price €15.
