Dirty Kings CD review by Shannon Bates<\/p>\n
Dirty Kings<\/b> Electric Dirt<\/i><\/p>\n
Even the cleanest of us would be intrigued by a band named Dirty Kings. The gritty guitars slide nicely into the first crunch of B.B. Cox\u2019s angry-sexy voice. The album kicks up a notch for the second track, \u201cDirty Brown\u201d (one of my favorites). While most of the lyrics throughout the CD beg a filthy name, the overzealous word choices in \u201cJust for Shits\u201d detract from the fabulous sneering riffs underneath. \u201cSee the Green\u201d raises an eyebrow with a kick-ass vibraslap and a final tag chord typical of \u201850\u2019s rock-n-roll or Big Band jazz. Southern rock, blues, and soul find their place here, as well. Another favorite track is the final \u201cFor the Lack,\u201d which weaves groovy vocal harmonies and chord changes through the chorus and bridge. With a name like Mofo Daniels, a guitarist had better rock the strings. Cox and drummer CB Charlie help him to do just that on this dirty-good romp.
