Every track here, cover or not, is addictive to its core and there’s no escaping its spell. Throughout this record, that elusive “juju” we so often speak of echoes in the shadows, so alive it could scare you half to death if in the most dream-like way imaginable. Though it’s quite early yet, it’s nonetheless a pretty stark guarantee that 2023 will not see born in its midst a more memorable, inimitable record than ‘Dealey Plaza Blues’.
