Weird Old America @ National Underground
Friday May 22, 2009 at 9:00pm
the National Underground
159 E Houston (Allen and Eldridge St)
New York, New York 10002 Get Directions
Weird Old America's Vaudeville is the new classic rock. With a decidedly blues-rock sensibility, the band pay tribute to their heroes of the 60s and 70s. The first few cuts hearken to the days of Cream and The Guess Who, while the remainder of the album has more of a Lynyrd Skynyrd vibe with its country-rock twang. Kicking things off with a minute-long Latin-flavored intro, Weird Old America whets your appetite for "Devil in A Dream," a powerhouse song with Santana-worthy guitar solos. The title track is next, a fantastically catchy piece that is arguably the best on the record. You'll have your lighters out for the power ballads "Sooner or Later" and "Carry Me Away," while the second half of the record has an especially Southern Rock drawl with cuts like "Checkpoint Charlie" bringing to mind the Allman Brothers. Vaudville is an excellent effort – the songs are well-crafted and the performances are stellar.
