Jack Oblivian - Rat City LP

Memphis based JACK OBLIVIAN (aka JACK YARBER) was a founding member of the garage-bands THE COMPULSIVE GAMBLERS and THE OBLIVIANS, but he has contributed to a dizzying array of projects over the years, including ANDRE WILLIAMS, JACK OBLIVIAN & THE TENNESSEE TEARJERKERS, COOL JERKS, ‘68 COMEBSCK, KING LOUIE & HIS LOOSE DIAMONDS, TIP TOPS, and more. His collaborations with the cream of the Memphis music crop guarantee that the players on Rat City fit the bill like the proverbial glove. Jack Oblivion channels the spirit of proto punk as well as blues, country and junkyard rock; his songs evoke haunting, echo-y swamp boogie that will walk you down that dark alley without fear.
