Links:

Immortal Lee County Killers are a duo (Chetley Weise on atrociously distorted guitar) that hails from Alabama and plays loud and sloppy garage-blues. The similarities with White Stripes are only superficial, though. The Essential Fuck-Up Blues (Estrus, 2001) exploded with the visceral force of Blue Cheer, the Stooges and MC5.

The originals on Love Is a Charm of Powerful (Estrus, 2003) are even more focused and inebriated (Robert Johnson, Shitcanned Again), but the album contains too many covers, as if the duo (same guitarist, but new drummer) ran out of ideas halfway into the recording.

Love Unbolts the Dark (Sweet Nothing, 2003) was instead a massive disappointment. Perhaps the left-overs of the previous session, these songs lack the verve and the passion of the first two albums.
