Jackyl - Best In Show



Boom Boom

A day of Rock here at the Awe, and more quick references to the heavy and unadorned across two posts: the first is Jackyl and their 2012 album Best in Show. Fronted by biker and chainsaw wielder Jesse James Dupree, this is hard rock birthed by Black Oak Arkansas and growled along rock’s historical gravel road to this incarnation where instinct drives the music, superbly, and IQ deliberates over the double entendres of the lyrics. Titles like Screwdriver and Horns Up wear their clues like tight leather around a crotch, although Encore, about pole dancing, is subtle – but only as a title. And it’s a funky, superb track. Boom boom.
