Take Robert Jetton’s Rockin’ Ranchero f’instance…if what you crave is
well-produced, spirited rock & roll (with a heavy dose o’ country funk
tossed in for good measure), then this is the recording for you, bunkie.
Opening up with an excellent cover of Lowell George’s Little Feat classic,
“Easy To Slip,” Jetton smoothly moves into a tasty Tim Krekel tune, “It’s Only
Love,” delivering it with appropriately bittersweet vocals and pleasantly
subdued instrumentation. A guitar-heavy, Creedence-inspired rocker, “Little
Troublemaker,” kicks in, adding a bit of balance; rolling into the grand
finale, a Jetton original titled “Once In Love,” a rockabilly-tinged
honky-tonker that’ll get the adrenalin flowing an’ those toes-a-tappin’. An
artist mining a rich and diverse talent, Jetton is a fellow to keep your eyes
(and ears) on in the future. (New Bohemian Records)
