Texas-based Jonathan Jeter and the Revelators’ 5-song EP Late for My Own Funeral shows that they can rock hard. The catchy opener “19 Doin’ 20” is a bit frenetic, while “Come On” and “Barfly” provide some nice contrasting grooves at a slower pace. The album’s short on credits, but I assume drummer Chris Evans is propelling the group. Jonathan Jeter’s vocals have some of the style and grit of Leon Russell.
“Voodoo Woman” is tightly wound, tough southern twang that simultaneously draws inspiration from Led Zeppelin, the Allman Brothers, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. This band’s messages may be simple, but there’s definitely something intrguing about its straightforward roots rock.
