You might have heard this track during the closing credits for Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay. It’s an interesting mix of rap and well…gospel. At the time of its release there was supposedly quite a lot of pressure on Bizarre’s label to pull the song since religious groups found it offensive. Perhaps those folks should have taken the advice in the song? Anyway, play it below or check out the video here.

20 years from now will everyone be waxing poetic about this period in time as yet another great blues revival? Think of all the bands right now in the genre – Kings of Leon, The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, Super 400, The Black Keys, Band of Skulls, the list goes on and on. While we can’t foresee the future, we can tell you that Left Lane Cruiser is a two-man blues outfit worth listening to right now. Crackalacka is the first track from the bands third release (due 9/29/09) titled All You Can Eat.

The track gets right down to business with the kind of slinky slide guitar and frighteningly raw vocals that we’ve come to expect from Freddy Evans and is whipped into a frenzy by the firecracker drumming style of Brenn Beck. As Evans alternates between greasy power chords and slide licks, Beck continues to lay down a relentless beat until the song ends.
