\u201cMy music is for weirdos. I want \u2018em to feel good\u2026or bad\u2026 Whatever way they wanna feel.\u201d Do you also feel attracted? More than 20 years into his career, and countless releases and performances later, Canadian rock ‘n’ roll hero Bloodshot Bill<\/a> knows exactly which ratio of rockabilly, R&B, garage punk and antique folk to put into the blender for optimal effectiveness. On his new full-length album Psyche-O-Billy<\/em><\/a>, he pours the raw brew over us in fits and starts – in 14 new tunes we hear the singing, guitar playing and drumming of the one-man band, but also his mumbling, stuttering, howling, cackling, yodeling and hiccups, in line with the sound known from the Songs The Cramps Taught Us<\/em><\/a> compilations. Classifications like primitive, vintage or peculiar are not far from the truth, but the rhythms, hooks and wordplay are too original and infectious to just dismiss it as such. At least it makes me feel good.<\/p>\n
