BONGO BOY OUT OF THE GARAGE VOL 3 Bongo Boy Records Review by Dawn Belotti | Bongo Boy Magazine Bongo Boy ’ s Garage Rock album is a cross between the 1960 ’ s and 1990 ’ s which happen to be my two favorite eras of music . Needless to say I thoroughly enjoyed listening to these artists . The songwriters tell stories accompanied by a fine tuned musical background .
Doug MacDonald- JACK JOKE SHOP
The Doug McDonald band hails from Boston and makes their debut with Bongo Boy . This tune is a punk version of Elvis Presley with opening riffs straight out of “ Jailhouse Rock .” Their music is catchy and the song , although having comic overtones , also brings back memories for those who remember joke shops and how much fun they were to browse .
The Sloths- ONE WAY OUT
The Sloths are very classic Hollywood rock . Although their career began in the 1960s they are back with a vengeance and with a 90s grunge / pop edge . The song details a failed marriage or relationship and the feeling that the one way out is the only recourse . As the song explains , that is not necessarily true .
British Invasion All-Stars- SHAPES OF THINGS
All-stars are an understatement for the amount of talent in this band . The band consists of members of The Yarbirds , The Jimi Hendrix Experience , The Pretty Things , Procol Harum , to name a few . I love the music of the Yardbirds ; a band that featured three of most reveled guitarists in history . There is no surprise that this version is nothing short of brilliant . Being very familiar with the original , I definitely love this one as well .
