Insomnia on Vinyl
Chaise Lounge – INSOMNIA: We’ve certainly all suffered a night or two when sleep was elusive, but as you groove to the title track opener, “Insomnia“, the groove will automatically have you counting sheep (or nymphs, if you prefer – lol). When the crew hits the full-boogie tilt of “43 Good Excuses“, you’ll be reminded of every late-nite diner along route 66, I’ve no doubt. An even dozen stories in song that will keep you eternally awake as you let the buzz flow through your headphones. There’s a real original feel on the jazzy & upbeat tunes that I found very attractive. Strangely enough, I found Chaise’s rendition of “Ode To Billie Joe” to be my favorite… “bouncy” is the keyword. These folks get a definite HIGHLY RECOMMENDED from my ears, with an “EQ” (energy quotient) rating of 4.96. Get more information at the Chaise Lounge website. Rotcod Zzaj
