Booze Monkey is the current musical vehicle for long-time independent recording artist Blue Ajay. The band's first 3 albums were very raw acoustic-duo endeavors (featuring extraordinary-bassist Joel Ludwig who has since moved on) with an overwhelming blues flavor and rockabilly undertones. 4th St. throws Blue's eclectic history of musical detours and diversions into the proverbial blender. The result is a genre-blending rock music CD with a chewy blues-guitar center.

"4th St." by Booze Monkey is a guitar-driven blues rock album with a sense of humor and a party mentality. The lyrics are quirky, creative and entertaining to say the least. Not only that, these guys are good musicians that can play the blues. The man behind the sound is seasoned independent recording artist Blue Ajay. There is a definite rockabilly undertone to the sound. That mixed with the chunky/chewey guitar makes for a driving and powerful rock n' roll cocktail. You will also experience a very well-produced album with modern sounds and eclectic intricacies. This ain't your mom and pop’s blues. Highlights include "Solitare (the old way)" with it's lyrical roller coaster and booming rockabilly sound. A definite party starter. "Hope" is the track that follows and is a complete 360. A darkness emerges with synths, haunting guitar work and goth-ish vocals. "Tellin' You" is a twisted rocker with great changes and fantastic performances all around. If you enjoy blues rock, you'll enjoy this excellent CD. -William and the RadioIndy.com Reviewer TeamCheck out Booze Monkey's music on RadioIndy.com with link to purchase and links to popular sites |
