Brooklyn’s Uncle Leon and the Alibis album Wild Ways is like a late night stumble and tumble into the last neon sign lit smokey bar open way past last call, deliriously bleary eyed you find a seat in the corner next to a lady named Big  Maybelle order a beer and a shot, glance leeringly at Maybelle and toast ‘Fuck It’  then the music catchs your attention and coming over old tube amps, loud and raunchous, Uncle Leon and the Alibis  are playing their unique brand of whiskey fused, roadhouse honky tonk, capturing your mood completely ‘whiskey, women, pills and booze still can’t kill these lonsome blues’, their in your head man what are they doing in your head? You look around and everyone’s a bipping and bopping to the music, they’re in everyone’s head man, your eyes clear a bit, you sing along a few verses and in a minute your foot stomping and hootin’ and a hollerin’ with the crowd. Fuck the world!

The Uncles got the vocal chords of nashvilles greats piped straight from his gut, backed by musicians that sound like they’ve played on every Sun session ever recorded. Essential listening for every roots revival enthusiast. Rating: Four Levi Buttons
Recorded entirely on vintage analog equipment, straight to 2″ tape and mastered by Joe Lambert at Brooklyn’s JLM Sound,
