I vaguely recall many nights sitting on the booth backs at Taylor's, downing pint after pint and soaking in the sounds of local and visiting blues bands. J.C. Rico slows things down over the next two tracks and shows his love of the Drifters before a couple of yawns pass by. The collection comes to a tasty close with a polished, crackling instrumental piece from Don Latarski and Rue de Blues. I'm missing Taylor's already.
Results are mixed, with good grooves and beats facing off against terrible cheese.
Left at that, Enter the Draco would be a stunning debut. Sadly, there's more. Other numbers fronted by vocalista Miyuki evoke moms pushing baby strollers to the Lilith Fair. Luckily, though, regardless of a few rotten apples, Enter the Draco stands as a strong debut. Maybe next time the duo will stick to the snare drum and leave the acoustic guitar at home.
