The Magic Lightnin' Boys - Stealin' Thunder
Gomez is an expressive vocalist, heard at his best during "Fear & Freedom," where his singing takes on a winning vibrato tone. Gomez gets loud and proud over this hard rocking workout.
Unlike, say, the Black Keys, a band that oftentimes skirts around the edges of the blues, The Magic Lightnin' Boys many times dig right it and let it roll. A track like "Mojo," which goes all Jimi Hendrix in all the right places, is a sheer delight. The guitars roar, and Gomez roars right along with them. Then with "N2U," funky electric guitar is mixed with down-low bass, for some true sonic thunder. Thus, the album lives up to its Stealin' Thunder name.
