Watching charismatic frontman Kennedy work a crowd is like watching the General Lee take off on another of those crazy aerial stunts. He always lands shiny side up and burnin' rubber for all he's worth. Thanks to him, and to the chooglin' garage twang supplied by Niewoehner & Keale, the energy level at Earl shows is always high.

What I especially like about Earl is their tendency to fuel roots music with a searing blast of nuclear white heat... Kennedy ...with that rustic howl... is all frantic emotional fire and drama. On stage I couldn't take my eyes off of him.

"Long, Long Time", the first track on Earl's Used, jumps out like an alt-country genie who's sick of being cooped up in a damn bottle. "The Game" reminded me of early Springsteen when he was just a New Jersey kid knocking 'em dead at The Stone Pony. "Abigail" is another winner that proves you can never go wrong writing about girls and naming songs after one of them. The St. Louis-based Earl plays urban rock with a rural wallop. Or is rural rock with an urban wallop? Either description makes sense.

Earl's music is something both Johnny Cash and Johnny Rotten can be proud of.
