With all due respect to Stevie Ray Vaughan, it’s awfully good to hear another band tackle Howlin’ Wolf’s “Commit a Crime” so recklessly. The most encouraging aspect of blues-rooted bands like Big Foot Chester (or Jon Spencer or even the Cramps, knowwutImean) is that these not-so-young bands have the kind of lowdown and dirty teenage disregard for convention that makes their music pump and pulse with life – the same kind of life that filled “Commit a Crime” with such passion and fervor originally. Which makes Tabernaclin’ a more than appropriate title for these 14 songs that testify as much for Leadbelly (“Keep Your Hands Off Her”), Hank Williams (“Since My Sweet Love Ain’t Around”), and the Misfits (“Hollywood Babylon”) as it swears by originals (guitarist Davy Jones’ “The Creeper,” Chris Gates and Bill Anderson’s “My Biggest Mistake”). Throughout, BFC rattle, thrash, and wail out blues so wicked and throbbing that when these guys play Stubb’s, they should raise the ghost of the old One Knite’s coffin-shaped door. Why doesn’t this band have a regular night at Antone’s? If Muddy Waters or Junior Wells were around to get a load of BFC, they’d go “huh?” and then be up onstage faster than Walter Daniels can change Hohner harmonicas. Tabernaclin’ is a big, sweaty, in-yer-face reminder that blues is no kind of music to be safe with ~ 4.0 Stars – Margaret Moser/
