Graveyard FrameQuartertons
Nathan Jay Moody has a charm that lights up a stage. It would be easy to worry that Graveyard Frame from NJM’s Quartertons wouldn’t be able to capture the swagger and delight that flows from the stage as they play around town.
No problem here!
Not that the studio setting doesn’t lend an additional complexity to the lead guitar mastery of Nathan Jay or the that the intensity of the lyrics and vocals isn't more polished and powerful. It just that you can almost still feel the smokey bar, and the click of glasses somewhere in the background.
Graveyard is an easy listen. It grips you and keeps you listening. Nathan uses his guitars fret broad like gymnast Mary Lou Retton used those bar things. Swinging back and forth, then nailing the dismount. Good thing the solid and stoic Cory is around to keep things from spinning out of control or someone might get hurt!
Will admit I like the Quartertons best when they slow down and play blues. SRV fans will enjoy Blood Red Texas Moon, Crying in the Rain. Looking for a rocker, how about, Lovin’ Gun. My favorite has to be Little Piece o’ Lightin’. It is truly from the streets of Memphis. You shoulda' been there. Black in Blue is a very close 2nd
Also a quick word about the production of this CD. The graphics, photos, recording and the whole package are first rate. Kudos to all involved.
