It’s the humour that hits first. Just after the lowdown twang of Roy Payne’s baritone guitar sets the sleazy and mean tone on title-track opener ‘Hully Gully,’ the gallows wit follows: “They try to tell you dreams come true they lie until you’re black and blue,“ and a sort of grimy, rockabilly blues dance tune plays through its wry detail. You could describe the sound of this album as that of a tough, melodic, rootsy, guitar driven combo focused on the presentation and performance of the song. Of course that’d reduce it to another worthy roots offering lost in an ocean of roots worthiness. And it would miss the power of the Suave Fucks, Walker’s delightfully named band, and the power of his songs.
