Say Something Nasty
Nashville Pussy is a no-holds-barred bar band--the kind of sweaty, sleazy outfit you’d expect to hear blaring from a vintage Camaro sporting a "Keep On Truckin’" bumper sticker. NP’s grimy, sweaty rock is powered by singer-guitarist Blaine Cartwright and his fret-monster of a wife, lead guitarist Ruyter Suys. Musical kin toBlack Oak Arkansas, the quartet pay homage to 1970s Southern rock and metal while poking a little of fun at the genres. Cartwright’s drawling growl andZZ Topriffage on "You Give Drugs a Bad Name" provide one infectious highlight. A reasonably true-to-the-original version ofRick Derringer’s "Rock ‘n’ Roll Hoochie Coo" closes a CD that could pass as an X-rated version of the soundtrack forDazed and Confused.--Katherine Turman
