DANKO JONES – Wild Cat

Wild Cat is the 8^th studio release from Ontario, Canada based trio Danko Jones. Jones, Guitar and Vocals, John Calabrese, Bass, and Rich Knox, Drums, have put together an awesome collection of straight ahead Rock ‘N’ Roll music. Delving into deep subject matter such as girls, parties, and Rock ‘N’ Roll, this record is exactly what it should be. Full of fun, uplifting music with great hooks, catchy riffs, and plenty of swagger. Stand out tracks include the first single released, “My Little Rock N Roll”, “You Are My Woman”, and “Diamond Lady.” Those tracks have a big, radio friendly sound that any Rock fan will enjoy on the first listen.

The entire record is extremely well-produced. The arrangements are tight and very clean. Jones’ voice is strong and gravelly, reminiscent of Kip Winger at many times. The only shortcoming of this record is the lead guitar. It’s solid, and competent but not quite of the caliber of the rest of the performances on the record, and some really great lead guitar would move Wild Cat a solid point on the rating scale. That said, Wild Cat is a must listen for fans of great Rock ‘N’ Roll. Look for Danko Jones on the road — the band has announced a 17-date European tour schedule in support of the new record.
