Jordan Vauvert Il y a des gens qui sont naturellement impliqués dans les entourloupes : Juke Baritone est un maître en la matière. Dans The Salted Man — le titre sur la pochette est DÉJÀ une embrouille —, ce pilier (de bar) du rockabilly est un M. Je-sais-tout qui a toujours une anecdote à raconter et il le fait si bien qu'on boit ses élucubrations sans queue ni tête comme de l'hydromel. Mais les embrouilles, il les fait lui aussi, faisant fusionner les genres dans un carnaval euphorique, fou et délicieux ! Favorite track: Old Joe.

TimmoTunes A Tom Waits wannbe. But, hey, who DOESN'T want to be Tom Waits? I dig the music, well done. Favorite track: Hey God.

Poesy Rider Le chapeau toujours vissé sur la tête et toujours aussi excellent, JB nous livre un album éthylique dans lequel la question se pose : si les Muppets du show sont bourrées, ceux qui tirent les ficelles le sont-ils forcément aussi ? Réponse : album aussi maîtrisé que spontané ; on ne saura sans doute jamais... Favorite track: The Last of the Kings.

DJHDD This man was bitten by a rabid swamp dog, infested with the cloned DNA of Tom Waits & Hunter S Thompson, he thinks he knows fucking everything, until the day he met the band & they had him institutionalised in an Asylum for obsessive compulsive drunken disorderlies. Maniacal, Belligerent gypsy punk cabaret that makes Gogol Bordello blush.

There was a time not long ago when gold fell from the sky And men of ill description never thought to wonder why They revelled in the riches and destruction that they bring They danced the dance of death and on their children’s graves they sing CHORUS There came a time soon after that when the gold stopped raining down These men of ill description started digging up the ground And when the wells ran dry they never stopped to wonder why They just danced the dance of death and then they watched their children die CHORUS SOLOS So after when there was nothing left yes everything was gone These men of ill description never wondered what went wrong They held their glasses in the air and filled their cups with drink They danced the dance of death and on their children’s graves they sing CHORUS

Hey God 06:36
VERSE 1 I know this guy, he comes here From time to time, he buys a beer And I don’t know why, he comes here I suppose he’s got problems or something he wants to disappear He hates his life, he hates his job He hates his wife, he even hates his dog! And I don’t know why, he hates his dog Maybe he’s dyslexic or something and got it mixed up with God! He hates everything, that he has become He hates everything, that he hasn’t done And now I know why, he comes here He don’t say nothing man, he shouts it loud and clear! CHORUS 1 He says, Hey God! Don’t you worry about me I’m doing fine without your generosity You get such a kick, out of my tragedy I forgot about you so don’t you worry… About me VERSE 2 I know this girl, she works here She’s always high, but her mind stays clear And I don’t know why, she’s working here You know she’s got a degree in economics or something? She’s getting it out, for two bucks a pop The old men gather around, and stare at her lot And I don’t know why, she works here I suppose all those two bucks must really add up to a lot! She says she got debts, that she’s paying off But I know deep down, it secretly gets her off And now I know why, she’s working here She don’t say nothing man, she shouts it loud and clear! CHORUS 2 She says, Hey God! Don’t you worry about me I’m doing fine without your generosity You smote me once around the old apple tree I forgot about you, so don’t you worry about me Hey God! Don’t you worry about me I’m doing fine without your generosity You get such a kick out of my tragedy I forgot about you, so don’t you worry About me SOLOS VERSE 3 So this guy Adam, and this girl Eve They decided that they should, get together And old Adam, well he’s thinking with his muscle But that girl Eve, you know she’s out for the hustle So old Adam, you know he turns to Eve And he says I’m sick of this guy always bothering me I want to get out of here baby, what do you think? And Eve says, sure honey… buy me a drink! So they sit down, and they have a chat And they talk about this, and they talk about that And old Adam says, c’mon! Let’s get out of here honey And Eve says, sure baby, show me the money! Ha! CHORUS 3 Hey God! Don’t you worry about me I’m doing fine without your generosity You get such a kick out of my tragedy I forgot about you, so don’t you worry, don’t you worry About me! Hey God! Don’t you worry about me I’m doing fine without your demagogueraphy! You get such a kick out of our tragedy I forgot about you, don’t you worry, don’t you worry about me [VAMP] I don’t need you anyway, we’re doing fine these days Don’t you worry, don’t you worry about me Hey God!

about

Juke Baritone Melbourne, Australia

Maniacal. Brilliant. Belligerent. Legendary. Comprehensively in your face. Like a Muppet with a real bad attitude. These are just some of the words used to describe the utterly intoxicating Juke Baritone as he's been travelling the world with his rascally troupe of manic noise-makers, assaulting audiences with his tall tales of bad love, good times and the evils of the world. ... more
