J.D. Simo and Luther Dickinson sound like they are having a great time dosing The Blues with the explorative musical treatments on Do the Rump!, the recent and first album from the pair. That trippy effect comes in the form of Blues all under a Boogie and Psychedelic trance umbrella, a place where dirty Blues guitars live on top of a scrappy, percussive-pace.
“Street People” opens Do the Rump! with a gritty grind, a dirty, beautifully underproduced sound that sets the sonic pace for the rest of the album. “Lonesome Road” comes across like the experimental closer you’d hear on any Funkadelic record dropped in the 1970’s, complete with a hazy inspired solo. The entire record has Psychedelic under- and overtones. “Come and Go With Me” is the score for a stroll with cool in your stride, “Do The Rump Louise” kicks off with a drum shuffle that’s classic North Mississippi Allstars slow Boogie, and that the beat remains juke-joint heavy in “Come On.”
Album closer,  “Peaches”, is more trance-jam, and satisfying. This is not commercial-radio Blues, and fans of needing something clean like slow-hand may keep moving. This is left of the dial , late-night Blues, a sound that screams ‘lets start playing and see what happens’. It’s experimental Garage-Rock with a Punk attitude, where Psychedelic audio ventures and dirty tunings give the songs some psychedlicized muscle with your Boogie. (by Bryant Liggett)
