MysteryDriver - Getting Away With Murder

Add a CD copy of "Getting Away With Murder" to my shopping cart!
 

MysteryDriver is a basic lean rock'n'roll trio from Chicago. Roots - but not retro. Pure, but not purist. A grand tradition of not following tradition.

Steve Gerlach is the lead guitarist and singer, best known for heading the Phantom Helmsmen and as lead guitarist for The Bad Examples. Bass player L.T. Swisher comes from the Amarillo Kings and drummer John Carpender played with Gerlach in the Phantom Helmsmen. Ten rock'n'roll songs with vocals including covers of The Kinks' "Got My Feet On The Ground" and Ray Charles' "Leave My Woman Alone."

Getting Away With Murder is the debut album for this combo. Gerlach's hi-test playing is showcased on every fast-moving cut. There's a lot of history in his playing but this is no scholarly sound. This is a new voice adding to the Gibson & Strat vocabulary. Onstage their Eddie Cochran-cool demeanor quickly heats up to a sweaty fever. MysteryDriver is always cruising over the limit on the hi-fi highways of America. Songs from the album have been used in the films "The Last Road" and "Puddle Cruiser."
