Juliette And The Licks – ‘Purgatory Blues’

Juliette and The Licks continue the pilfering of better rock bands with this by the numbers rock blast. �Purgatory Blues� comes at you sounding like Queens Of The Stone Age without the foreboding menace and sung by an actress. Juliette Lewis is a good stage presence and the band make some rather rocking noise, but her voice just can�t carry the song. It rumbles along not unpleasantly, even though you feel like you�ve heard it somewhere before, only better. It should be a hard rocking, whiskey drinking punch in the face of a song sadly it only really feels like a light slap. Buy it if you think coke zero is a great idea!
