CHRIS JAMES-PATRICK RYNN / Gonna Boogie Anyway:  Oh, these white boy’s frat roots are showing.  These were the guys that grew up loving Otis Day and the Knights and probably took their lives in their hands venturing to the Dexter Lake Club to check it out on their home turf.  There were some white boys that weren’t afraid of bad neighborhoods and the locals let them pass as they were there for the blues (the the economic health of the clubs and neighborhoods).  As urban hard core as aging white boys can be, the spirit of the blues being belted out here will keep this sound out of the museum.  Killer stuff that’ll give any party the kick in the pants it needs.
