With vocals raw enough to put Tom Waits on notice, and keyboards and drums jammed in overdrive, James Leg kicks off a relentless assault of high voltage blues rock heavily dosed with a decidedly gonzo energy.  The Dixie-bred Mr. L, aka John Wesley Myers of the Black Diamond Heavies, also steers his punk-blues amalgam into soulful regions with the occasional ballad.  Standout tracks include “Human Lawn Dart”, “Mighty Man” and “I’ll Take It”.
