Little Charlie & the Nightcats - Disturbing the Peace

This 1988 outing is another seamless part of the thread that is this eclectic West Coast band, brimming with equal parts good humor and sensational playing. Charlie Baty tears into his guitar on the opener, That's My Girl, and keeps the heat up throughout this set, turning in jazzy work on My Money's Green, rockabilly licks galore on She's Talking, and getting quite bluesy on the slow one, V-8 Ford. Rick Estrin contributes explosive harp work on Nervous, I Ain't Lyin', and Don't Boss Me, plus vocals full of sly charm on every track along the line.
