Rooster Hooch
Junkyard Jane
(Frogimo Records)
Alt-Country

It's easy to sloppily play a drawn-out, self-indulgent guitar solo that overpowers all the other musicians. Rooster Hooch, however, is punctuated by solos that are exactly the opposite - clean, minimal and integrated into the song. Junkyard Jane's self-described "swampabilly roots music" is bass-driven, rhythmic and entertaining. The sound's obviously steeped in influences of honky-tonk and blues, and the country music of our parents' generation. It's a stroke of familiarity with clean-cut guitar lines that snake over a solid, heavy bass and mingle with the easy, light vocal harmonies. Leanne Trevalyan's voice is a highlight, immersed as much in Faith Hill as June Carter. But Junkyard Jane doesn't stop there - they turn to a smooth, contemplative acoustic ballad about a girl itching to get out of town ("Can't Sit Still"), a sparse song decorated with impressive kazoo solos ("But Honey") and a fast-paced, energetic track about the hijinks of a fighting cock ("The Legend of Beauregard 'Bucky' Muldoon"). Their album is unabashedly forward-looking, always attempting new things to entertain or add whimsy, but never straying too far from their signature uncluttered, unified sound.

EMAIL FROM GUITARIST BILLY STAPLETON
November 2004

It has come to my attention that you guys have cut an extremely fine CD. Finally had a chance to listen to it this week - kept it in the truck and have been listening to and from work.

I absolutely love "Goin' to Kentucky" - the vocal is so very strong and the yodel stuff is just great!! I like the whole thing, especially "Lit up Like the Moon" and "Can't Sit Still".
The sound of the CD is exceptional; you've got a great tone on everything and great players. It's nice and tight and it sounds just like you guys - very individual.

Nice guitar playing by the way, great tone "Tele-boy." I Like "What Would Jimmy Do" and the Cock-a-doodle-doo to "Ghost Riders" is plain genius. Got to run and pound nails for the rest of the day.

Your pal, Billy Stapleton
