Cheater Slicks “Don’t Like You” 1995. In The Red Records. Garage-revival punk blues/trash rock, produced by Jon Spencer whose “zonked out stoner” vocals appear on “Sensitive Side,” a creepy-swampy growler. Spencer became a fan of the band when Cheater Slicks opened for Boss Hog around ‘90; they then played shows with Jon Spencer Blues Explosion in the early-to-mid 90′s. (Cheater Slicks, like JSBX, are also bass-less. In interesting trivia: the original lineup of the band included Merle Allin, brother of G.G. Allin, on bass. Wonder why that didn’t work out?!) “Motherlode” is another awesome track: a raucous rocker with insane harmonica by Jerry Teel of the Honeymoon Killers, who was also responsible for recording Don’t Like You. “Mystery Ship,” the album’s final track, is low-down dirty trash blues, sparse and sad and a bit scary.
