LA`s Randy Weeks is an amazing roots-pop artist, one who is ready and deserving of the spoils of recognition and respect. He plays live at least every other week, with and to the cream of Southern California`s Americana community. Performing and recording with the likes of guitarist Tony Gilkyson (X, Lone Justice) drummer/singer Mike Stinson, keyboardist Danny McGough (Eleni Mandell, Social Distortion) and bassist Joshua Grange (Victoria Williams, Eleni Mandell, Shannon McNally), Weeks may also be found on discs by Ramsay Midwood, Anny Celsi, Kip Boardman and Dwight Yoakam, among others. The frustrating thing is this: for a guy with such an appealing voice, so many great songs, and wagonload of great musical chums, why the heck hasn`t he landed a crack recording deal? This one`ll put `em straight for sure. The ten tracks on Sugarfinger breeze through on a subtle wind, his bittersweet yet hopeful material - sung with an amiable tone that stretches irony with catchy like saltwater taffy - grazes your sympathetic heartstrings every note down the line. -- Robinson, Miles Of Music (self-released)
