Formerly of Ray Condo and his Hardrock Goners, Slim Sandy is billed as “the one-man rockin’ band”, an apt title for this solo hillbilly boogie guy who manages to play the guitar, blow the harp and stomp out a mean beat all at once. An intentionally low-fi effort, Rough & Ready has an early Sun Records feel that’s sure to satisfy any fan of those formational early country/emerging rock and roll years. This is a good foot-stompin’, beer-drinkin’, truck-drivin’ disc (although not all at once, please) that should more than satisfy any alt-country fan. Start practicing yer best yee-haw holler for the CD launch at Logan’s this weekend.
