songs to dance and melt to after the nuclear blast.... Texas' own Mutant Press still knows how to rock. We checked out their two CDs, How Y'All Doin..?.. and Don't Mess With Mutant Press. Aside from a few covers on each album, all songs were written by the prolific Jerome T. Youngman. Both CDs feature an eclectic mixture of classic rock, 60s, acid, some R & B sounds, and even a couple country-fried (no misspelling) notes. On How Y'All Doin..?.., we like the sweet and simplistic "Call My Name," and "Slippin Away" has heart. Jerome can definitely make his guitar walk the walk - check out "Dancing In The Margin Of Error," and the arrangement and timing between keyboards and guitar is primo on "Tippin & Toolin". Don't Mess With Mutant Press opens with a subtler, more low key song called "Things U Don't Know" and picks up the same appealing tone in "Sunshine". "Big Time With You" is classic rock fun, and covers such as Lou Reed's "Waiting For My Man" are done effectively with a Mutant Press spin. The common thread between both CDs is great beats and a screamin' and scorchin' guitar.
