"The Journeyman" by Devil Blare
With bluesy swagger, a hunk of dirty guitarin' and a beat as catchy and brainless as repeated tambourine blows to the head, Devil Blare's "The Journeyman" makes us think of turtlenecked, Chelsea-boot-stomping teenagers turning over tables in the early '60s. A two-minute anthem to wayward masculinity, it's the title track of Blare's intentionally low-fi, home-recorded debut, a concept album about the life of a working-class music man. It's autobiographical: Blare (real name Devin Blair) is a high school teacher — probably, like, the coolest one ever. Swing by cdbaby.com to pick up The Journeyman and enroll in this man's course in psychedelic garage-pop awesomeness.
