​The Lonesome Captain and His Hurt Feelings (from the album Country Funk Elixir available on FM Principle Records) (by Danny McCloskey) 
The curtain’s part on Country Funk Elixir as a single sonic spotlight hits The Lonesome Captain. A rumble of drums bang out a beat as the man centerstage uses a platform a Country, Blues, Rock’n’Roll to offer a heady brew that promises, whatever your ills and aches, to have the “Cure for You”. The tune begins the song cycle for the recent release from The Lonesome Captain and His Hurt Feelings, Country Fink Elixir. Based in Venice, California, the music Country Funk Elixir is a sideshow of sounds guaranteed make your day a little brighter with humor and a solid backbeat.
A joyful bounce wraps around “Let’s Commit Some Crimes” as a raggedy shuffle shakes, rattles, and rolls for the singalong chorus of “Aww, Fuck”. The Lonesome Captain and His Hurt Feelings plant a path for dancing feet with the feel-good sounds of Country Funk Elixir. The band makes good on the album title when scratchy chords make a mighty rhythm to ride underneath the lyrical flow of “Brigitte Bardot’s Cigarette” while a jangly tangle of twang sparkles to introduce a “Temporarily Embarrassed Millionaire”. Questioning “What Makes Stagger Lee So Mean?”, Country Funk Elixir makes attempts to close the door on memories with “Pretty Good at Feeling Bad” as The Lonesome Captain and His Hurt Feelings exit on a swamp groove to issue “The Guarantee”.
