Title: The Mighty Morells Return!
Review: The Morells -- spiritual godparents of the whole Americana movement -- have returned with a wonderful CD highlighting the same mix of rock, country, R&B and general goofiness that made their 1982 album "Shake and Push" an instant classic. Their encyclopedic knowledge of the forgotten songs brings us gems like "Rock Bottom" and "Roy's Blues," and two songs written by Springfield, Missouri neighbor Ronnie Self, "Home in My Hand" and "Hair of the Dog." Even in the four songs just mentioned the band covers it all, from swing-pop to instrumentals to reggae-tinged country (!). Combine this with their air-tight instrumentation and Lou Whitney's spotless production and you have an album you'll be keeping.
