Description
Christian St. Croix's, "Rebel Yells (And Other Tales)", is a raw, witty, stripped-down collection of old-school soul and acoustic Americana matched with a distinct blues sound and St. Croix's own infectiously raspy, rum-drenched vocals. "JohnnyJimJack" -- sung acapella in homage to Janis Joplin's "Mercedes Benz" -- uses a frustrated blues melody to call a lover out.
