J. Roddy Walston and the Business rang in the New Year with authority!!! New Year's Eve at Ram's Head Live in Baltimore (J. Roddy's adopted hometown) was a happening event. I am so happy my wife made arrangements to so that we could be there (it was part of my birthday gift too).
If you put Jerry Lee Lewis, The Black Crowes, The Allman Brothers, and AC/DC in a blender with a whole lot of Jack Daniels...you would have a mighty fine cocktail called J Roddy Walston and the Business. I highly recommend their self titled album (see "Albums of the Year"-my first blog posting) If you get the chance do yourself a favor and see them live. You will be very happy you did. It is a whiskey gulping, head bobbing, guttural throbbing show that will leave you wanting more.
Here is a clip of the final song:
"Used to Did" by J. Roddy Walston and the Business
Keep up the the great work J Roddy! You are making Baltimore proud.
