Album Review: Sweet Lil Rider - Sweet Lil Rider EP

22 April 2015 | 2:18 pm | Michael Smith

"two guys, two Resonator guitars and a deep, informed passion for swamp/blues/boogie"

Two guys, two Resonator guitars and a deep, informed passion for swamp/blues/boogie as it swam outta the Mississippi Delta and was transmogrified by white boys with electric guitars.

One guy is American – former Angels bass player Jim Hilbun. The other, Johnny Cass, avid champion of Robert Johnson, from the deep NSW mid-south coast. The result? Five stompin’ down-home cuts as you’d hear banged out on a porch somewhere in the Bayou, Mick Skelton adding a pinch of gutbucket thumping.
