Jim Jones Revue - The Savage Heart

Review by Aaron Lavery

There’s still an over-riding sense that these tracks are waiting to be heard on stage before they can truly take flight, but there’s still plenty here to suggest that The Jim Jones Revue are more than beefed up rock and roll revisionists.»

the jim jones revue release their eagerly anticipated third studio album 'the savage heart' through play it again sam / punk rock blues records. the album was produced by jim sclavunos (of grinderman / nick cave and the bad seeds). 'the savage heart' expands the sonic remit of the jim jones revue beyond their renowned brand of manic rock 'n' roll to explore a virtual 'heart of darkness' of new musical territory in the form of tribal stomps, field hollers, a capella rave-ups - even a fuzzed-out feedback-laden doo-wop ballad! 'the savage heart' swaggers with all the balls-out rocking of its predecessors, but offers too an expansive vision of the band, with a wider palette of sounds and even socially conscious lyrics.
