Review by Paul
Non Fiction by The Blasters is a rockabilly album that is a must-have for any fan of the genre. The band, led by Dave Alvin, delivers a high-energy performance that is both authentic and fresh. The album features a mix of original songs and covers, all of which are performed with passion and precision.
One of the standout tracks on Non Fiction is "Dark Night," a haunting ballad that showcases Alvin's vocal range and the band's ability to create a moody atmosphere. "Common Man" is another highlight, with its catchy chorus and driving beat.
The Blasters also pay tribute to their influences with covers of classic songs like "Flat Top Joint" and "Long White Cadillac." These tracks are given a modern twist, while still maintaining the spirit of the original recordings.
