A couple of weeks ago I walked into Lucid Jazz Lounge to hear the joyous sounds of what seemed like a fifteen piece swing band. The players packed onto the tiny stage were convulsing and roaring in sonic ecstasy. Their hot cherry attire flashed under the lights and the audience clapped and hooted with abandon. Two minutes later, the song was over, the set was finished, and I was left to wonder why I hadn’t arrived earlier. Lucky for me, Dustbowl Revival was selling their new album Holy Ghost Station, and my friends and I pitched in and purchased the CD, and a seven inch vinyl. They’ve gone to the top of the Monarch Charts. This band is rangy: Gypsy, Country, Swing, Blues, Rock and Roll–they can do it all–and without sounding like a mish-mash hodge-podge.  The music lives again, and so bountifully as to make us nostalgic for the present!

Here are three cuts from Holy Ghost Station:
