#The discs are spinning
KIM LENZ
Dilute a number of male faces with a pleasant female one. Kim Lenz, a native of San Diego, recorded a couple of authentic rockabilly albums in the second half of the 1990s. These discs made Kim an American star. Her own songs were organically combined with not the most famous covers, albums were written live on vintage recording equipment, critics vied with each other to compare Lenz with the rockabilly stars of the 1950s, Wanda Jackson and Janice Martin.
The Jaguars, represented by Tom Umberger on lead guitar, Sean Supra on double bass and Scotty Tekke on drums, confidently supported their leader in her quest to revive the classic spirit and sound of rockabilly.
Kim Lenz: Serious Female Rockabilly
What is rockabilly? This is when tattooed guys with Elvis–style hair chop rock and roll on real instruments. No synthesizers. "Gianni bee Goode" as it is. But there are girls...
And she's not country. She's not a weak country singer, backed by her dad and uncles. She's fucking rock and roll, and this is her rock and roll. She plays in the band Kim Lenz And The Jaguars.
The girl's bone is wide, the text is good, the voice is beautiful. This is the best thing that happened to SKA in a female form.
The girl played rock and roll with her Jaguars for many years. But at the age of 53, the girl got tired of this kindergarten, this punk rock, this boozer, this rockenroll. In 2019, Kim is releasing a new album, which is a little different from her old songs.
A beautiful album. No, it's not like that. A fucking rockabilly album with a wonderful arrangement and wonderful female vocals.
Two last masterpieces.
