Kerry Pastine and The Crime Scene- Let’s Do This Thing
by Thom Jackson
You’d be hard-pressed to find a genre of music who’s culture is more of a cornucopia than rockabilly. The style draws both fans and influence from everything from punk rockers to honky-tonkin’ cowboys, and while the traditional style has been around the block for over a half-century now, there are bands still like Kerry Pastine & The Crime Scene reaching into every crevasse to bring out new and exciting takes on the music.
Let’s Do This Thing, the new record from The Crime Scene and their second is as many years, is a collection of danceable numbers that takes listeners through smoky saloon halls and motorcycle rides on an emotional, heart-wrenching journey. Thirteen songs touch heavily on love, the album clocks in a bit up-tempo from the most traditional rockabilly- a good thing if you ask me, because I like to dance.
