Jay Reatard
I’ve had Jay Reatard’s 2006 album Blood Visions for a little while now, and I have not been able to stop listening to it. It’s some of the most refreshing, straightforward rock music I’ve heard in a long time.
Coming out of the Memphis garage punk scene, Reatard played in several bands (The Reatards and the Lost Souls) before striking out on his own. Blood Visions is his first solo album, which makes me all the more excited to see what the prolific musician has in store for us.
The album is punk rock from beginning to end, and it will have you dancing for sure. Two of my favorite tracks are “My Shadow” and “Death is Forming,” which you can hear below, but definitely check out the entire album. You won’t regret it.
