Sorry Those Darlins, I have another crush now to add to you three. Not that you three will ever lose me as a “Those Darlins Junkie”, but today I was introduced to Kim Lenz, a redheaded rockabilly beauty from L.A. who is joined by her backing band The Jaguars. This modern day rockabilly band is amazing and I can not believe I have not heard any of their material before. That of course is going to change for this guy…
I am shocked to hear she has been putting albums out since 1998 and a rockabilly fan like myself never heard about her. Then again I am not the biggest rockabilly fan so I am sure I am going to be missing out on good bands. If any of you readers know of any I should check out leave a comment at the bottom of this post and thank you in advance.
Check out the awesome “Zombie For Your Love” video off Kim Lenz & The Jaguars latest release It’s All True!. Look for the “Thriller” reference in there while you are at it too.
She’s great. I just put her in my list of future downloads. Did anyone else think of “From Dusk til Dawn” about half way through the video? Want to know a rockabilly band I can’t get enough of? The Surgens. Don’t think twice about downloading an album, just get it. A bunch of the songs are kinda dark, but if you’re not shaking your butt in about 30 seconds into the album, you have some problems.
