Boxcar Satan/Grave Brothers Deluxe
Black Water Rising
Dogfingersoxcarsatan.

Grave Brothers Deluxe and Boxcar Satan are both rattlin’ garage-blooze demons from the still-swampy disaster zone once known as New Orleans. In an effort to stem the flow of suicide and rampant alcoholism the tortured town is currently suffering under, the fellas have offered up this brief-but-effective 4 song EP, sales of which will be donated to charities providing free mental health services to the Gulf Coast area. And that’s noble shit, right there. The smirky irony of it all is that neither band sounds very stable in good days, never mind after a year of wringing out their sopping wet socks. It works, though. Boxcar Satan open with a gravelly, ghost-train rendition of Charley Patton’s “High Water Everywhere”. Grave Bro’s follow with a punchy art-soul work-out of Boxcar Satan’s own “Shoot Down the Sun”. Then they belch up a raunchy, all hands on deck slop-through of Huey Smith’s classic “Don’t You Just Know It.” It all ends 12 minutes later with Boxcar whispering through the jazzy breeze of Grave Bros’ “Legs Rub Together”. Great songs, even greater cause. Buy, don’t download, for once.
