AUGUSTA, GA. - Like a hurricane of rhythm surrounding an abyss of fiery passion at the edge of eruption, Whitey on the Moon explodes from the speakers with a mix of rootsy rock n roll and rhythmic sincerity in "One Less Car."

A sound familiar to the ears of blues and country fans, this band reverberates in the eardrums with magnetism reminiscent of Wilco's progression through the years. With simple harsh lyrics and bleeding power chords throughout the six track collection, Whitey on the Moon explores the timeless expanse of territory called Americana while blending the open spaces of the prairie into a rock n roll framework of cataclysmic sound. It's like the band mates of Wilco teamed up with the hard-charging Allman Brothers for a romp through the countryside, and throughout the ride, the slippery percussion cues destroy any chance of monotony in the vision.

Jamie Osborne fronts Whitey on the Moon, and with his gravel-laden voice, he breathes life into the songs on this album. Performing and recording since 1996 as Whitey on the Moon, Osborne has been around the country in search of a signature, and has come up with a noise box full of expression in the process. Like a shot of adrenaline being poured upon a heavily sedated state of mind, Osborne's song scream into the midst of our being while imploring us to recognize the power of heartbreak, tears, and drama within our own lives.

Only six songs, but six full-barreled blasts into the consciousness, "One Less Car" sizzles with passion leaving a longing for more to come. Opening with "Ride Designer," the record begins in a traditional format of blues rock n roll without too much to write home about, but in the heat of the moment, this serves as a set up for the experimentation to follow. "One Less Car" opens a vein in the body with its time-clock-like ticking and soft melodic hooks. "Hit Parade" opens with a sweet croon, but parlays the peace into a romp set for the streets of riots and rebellion. Such passionate resistance is followed with the smooth transcendence of a musical menagerie in the form of "Blame Gaming," which swims in soft rhythms while telling the stories of fear. "Good Time Faeries" recalls the band to the pace of passion with its constant pounding and calls for the lack of needs. Finally, the highlight is truly saved for last as the band blends all its elements on the longest and best-crafted composition in "Komerika." On "just another day staring at the ceiling," Whitey on the Moon paints a portrait of sadness and loneliness in the hearts of mass society while exposing the darkness within the average day, and in so doing, they display the dexterity to flow from pummeling to contemplative in the musical score of another day gone by in the "empty and gray."

A fascinating take on the rock n roll genre, Whitey on the Moon offers a sample of the greatness that could be with the release of "One Less Car."

The song called "Bobcat Man" has a unique vintage guitar tone. The vocal effects come with Echoplex-like sounds. The tone of the drums and chordings on the guitar make this tune original. You can hear an echo effect that seems to alternate between guitar and vocals, and the feedback echo ending on this song is super cool.

"People Get Ready" was originally done by Curtis Mayfield, and it was covered by Rod Stewart and Jeff Beck. Yet this is the most unusual interpretation of this tune that ive heard. The fuzz-filter vocals are unique.

"Empty Charms" has a guitar riff beginning that sounds like the guitar being used is a Silvertone or Airline Res-o Glas. There a very fast tempo to this song, with drums and guitar going at breakneck speed.

Overall, Whitey on the Moon has a unique contemporary sound.
