I Make My Own Luck
Kerry Pastine & The Crime Scene
Wipe It Off! Records
Much to the delight of its fans, Denver’s own Kerry Pastine & the Crime Scene returns with its signature blend of rockabilly/old style rock ‘n’ roll style on its new EP, I Make My Own Luck. While the band’s last record took its sound in a more straight forward rockabilly direction, the new EP captures the group pushing its sound in interesting new directions. The title track, “I Make My Own Luck,” has a space age lounge vibe, while “Beggin’” and its take on the rhythm and blues standard “Fever” both have an old soul sound to them. (Simon Weedn)
