Jack Oblivian & The Sheiks - The Lone Ranger Of Love (LP-Rerelease Black and Wyatt Records)

Jack Oblivian & The Sheiks - The Lone Ranger Of Love (LP-Rerelease Black and Wyatt Records)

The list of bands Jack Oblivian (Memphis, Tennessee) has played in or fronted is too long to name. Best known are probably: Oblivians, Compulsive Gamblers, and Tennessee Tearjerkers. But he was also active with Rhythm & Blues veteran André Williams (RIP 2019). With his music, Jack paved the path to success for bands like The White Stripes, The Black Keys or The Black Lips. However, he himself always remained an underdog, either known as a cult figure of genre-bending garage rock, or simply unknown.

The Last Drag: Tyler Keith Sets Hard Truths to a Pounding Beat

Like the bands he names, Keith's music is raw and rocking. It takes a certain touch to authentically pull that off, but with his ear for perfectly dialed-in guitar tones, stomping beats, and melodies that soar over slashing chords, Keith clearly gets it.

Another two-piece here but this is not Captain and Tenille (or Seals & Crofts)…now, these two gents, Seth Moody (guitar/vocals) and Graham Winchester (drums/vocals) go low, real low and by low I mean they recorded on a 1986 Tascam 488 8-track reel-to-reel in a basement (“on a school night”…ha ha ha).
