Jitterbug Thompson`s primary and secondary focus are Caleb Sweazy and Victoria St. James. He`s the guitarist/vocalist/songwriter of this "dirty, sexy roots-blues-jazz-rock" combo. She`s the upright bassist/vocalist who completes the bands flair. The debut EP opens with the tin-pan jazz of "Fool", setting the pace with its urban jazz troubadour style. But don`t let the song fool ya into thinking they have one trick. There is great diversity here as the garage rock blues of "1 Track Mind", the sets most rockin` tune, proves. "Easy" and "Model A" are barebones recordings with Siegel alone on his acoustic; the dull, hollow tone of the aged strings and his dry, direct delivery give these respective blues and alt. folk tunes an immediate and live feel. And since the focus is on a good song (or six), the fidelity is not the issue. It`s the honesty. - Robinson, Miles Of Music (Appleknocker Music)
