2005

Dry Clothes for the Drowning by Pinkeye D’Gekko is an album that’s a little hard to get a handle on. It begins with a series of hard rockin’, foot stompin’ blues rockers. The titles of the tunes bear this out: River Boat Queen, Girls of Arkansas, etc. The sound on the first half of the album is eerily reminiscent of the Georgia Satellites (remember them?), and, in fact, the band is now touring with and opening for iconic southern rockers Lynyrd Skynyrd on their current U.S. tour.

Halfway through the album, though, Pinkeye D’Gekko pulls a surprise with The Poet, a tender ballad with female backing vocals, followed by the up-tempo pop-centric See You Again, as catchy a tune as you’re likely to find. Slowly but surely thereafter the boogie woogie picks up again and the house is once again rockin’.

Favorite Track: Track 7, “See You Again”
