Blast from a Savage Rock n Roll Past
A savage guitar line and wailing vocals are the stars of "25 Years" by Cleveland-based Crooked Hero, employing a nostalgic rock n' roll formula with some elements of Garage Rock--especially the call-and-response of the singer to his guitar, and the Elvis-esque warble in his voice. But if he sometimes emulates a little Elvis, his true inspiration is Jim Morrison, with a demonic howl to his voice and lyrics. The song is extremely short, almost too short...I wouldn't mind tapping my foot for another minute or so.
