Wicked Town - Joe Mystery - New Release Review

I just received a new release, Wicked Town, by Joe Mystery. This is an all original creation and actually quite entertaining. Mystery has a singing style as well as instrumental arrangement that quite closely resembles the Lizard King. In his story telling fashion, Mystery sings and plays his way through this lyrical creation in an enjoyable fashion. Opening with Root Doctor which has a driving blues intro, Mystery doesn't take long to start channeling Lizard vocals. On Brando, a more contemporary sounding rock track, Mystery even fires up the keys with Doors like atmosphere. Loose guitar solos float through the track in an ethereal way. Interesting track. Johnny Wyoming is a real cool track which certainly be thought to be the Doors if heard in a bar a as background levels. Cowboy of a New Western Dream is a really interesting track, let's say the Doors meet Frank Zappa. It has the general feel and sound of the Doors but with constructive composition not unlike Zappa. I like it! Joe's Mystery Stampede is a sprite, Les Dudek like instrumental composition. With a little western twist, real cool. Closing with Two Men, Mystery continues his storied saga. It is a moody piece and just fades off. This is an interesting release and one that warrants further listening beyond it's obvious surface similarities to Morrison.
