It’s hard not to listen to a new CD when it’s pitched as a melding of power pop and roots music. Is that like Eric Carmen covering Wilco? Or the Avett Brothers recording Badfinger tunes?
The curiosity factor aside, Partner in Crime, the new album from Detroit Band Jeremy Porter and the Tucos, proves to be a fun and energetic collection of songs that bring NRBQ and even Brownsville Station (on “Make Out King”) to mind.
Favorite tracks: “Castways,” “Pizza Girl” and “Barely All the Time.”
