Alex Gomez: Metallic Blue Electric

Crudely aggressive and brutally real, every syllable packs a wallop. Amid raunchy, spellbinding slide guitar work and an hypnotic drum throb, the Houston, Texas neo-bluesman resurrects the venerable Delta/Chicago genre with ruthless irreverence. Its specter haunts a purgatory crawling with teenaged strippers, avaricious call girls, strung-out junkies and other fallen angels. Careless love, sordid sex, and intemperate substance abuse fuel a diabolical roller coaster ride deep into the heart of the postmodern blues experience. If Metallic Blue Electric ain't Devil Music, it's surely what he listens to
