Memphis Kee is a man, Memphis Kee is a band. The man was a P.I. and detective, a job that if it doesn’t fuel songwriting means you didn’t have your eyes open. Kee, however, did, and as a band walks the musical line between Austin bar band, Singer/Songwriter Roots and a Southern Americana Red Dirt outfit, their latest in Dark Skies all that and more; Alt Country, Southern Rock, Roots Rock’n’Roll, foregoing the descriptors and just call it all great music.

Things kick off with a little Country mixed a little Blues in the album opener “I’ll Come Running”, a rough around the edges cut. The tone changes quickly, but the toughness remains on the balled “Bewitched”, a stand-out tune thanks to the accompanied croon of Jamie Lin Wilson. Dark Skiescontinues to be gloriously gritty. “With None” is down and dirty, “All the Rest” a power-chord heavy cut that’s thick and hammering while “Black Butterfly” is a nice slice of Rootsy Pop. There’s also some psychedelic exploration in the ballad “Being a Kid” that is delivered as a tender moment between a kid and a dad recounting a day at school, and the closer in “Twenty Dollar Chain” finds the band dropping into Punk mode.

Memphis Kee are a band that won’t be painted into a corner, as they drop Singer/Songwriter ballads and heavy Rock riffs with the same proficiency. (by Bryant Liggett)
