JOHNNY DOWD

PRESENTED BY JOHN DEAR MOWING CLUB“Brilliantly macabre, rib-tickling, poised and admirably raw dirty rock ’n’ roll from the shaded supremo of gothic Americana. All recorded live in three days, it plunges you into a world of deep crevices, bizarre happenings and fiery wonder in a way that albums costing millions can only dream of.”  - Mirror (London) “The indomitable Johnny Dowd is a 62-year-old from New York State who didn’t cut a record till he was 50. He’s making up for lost time with ‘Wake Up The Snakes,’ a soupy, soulful, dangerous, dirty career best. His band strike an excellent groove which lasts all the way from the funk-meets-half-spoken growl of opener ‘Yolanda’ to the smokin’ finale ‘Organ Grinder.’ Dowd’s got all the swagger and star quality of acts a third his age.” - The Sun (London)
