The Immortal Lee County Killers - Love Is a Charm of Powerful Trouble (2003)

I've been meaning to post up the Immortal Lee County Killers for a bit now. They're one of the bands I listened to back in high school along with the Soledad Brothers, Mr. David Viner and Entrance on hot spring afternoons before my folks got home and made me do chores. While all the mentioned acts are on the blues—punk spectrum, the Immortal Lee County Killers are perhaps the most heavily on the punk end. Formed in Alabama, they took the regions blues and merged it with minimalist garage punk to make a very loud and distorted mess of rock and roll. Too bad they got washed over in the garage rock craze of the early aughts and although they preceded the wave they quickly found themselves one of legion. This was their second album and arguably the best they produced. An unfortunately overlook group that should be heard by more garage punk fans.
