Screamin' Eric - Shake It

Screamin' Eric's new album is once more filled with catchy songs played with shitloads of energy. But whereas the predecessor "Freak Show" was more one-dimensional in it's sound and style, "Shake It" presents a broader selection of songs rooted in mid-sixties garage rock and soul stomp, punk rock of the late seventies and a touch of delta blues, mixed together to make contemporary but yet old-fashioned sing-along rock'n'roll. This is an album that kicks rock bands of the very land of mediocrity in the balls with it's uncomplicated straightforwardness.
