The Hits
Rick Estrin & the Nightcats
refer to in the title of their sixth album aren't hit singles -- they're a blues band in the 2010s, hit singles aren't coming their way -- but rather body blows; it's a sign that the veteran band still packs a punch.
Estrin & the Nightcats
follow through on an album that is squarely in their comfort zone, playing blues that's rooted in tradition but not beholden to it. The quartet realizes the blues is at its best when it's adaptable, so they'll balance a cover of the
Muddy Waters
chestnut "Diamonds at Your Feet" with an ingenious revision of
Leonard Cohen
's "Everybody Knows," giving the brooding ballad a streetcorner swing. Don't be fooled by the
Cohen
cover, though.
The Hits Keep Coming
isn't some dark night of the soul, it's a lively record with a strong sense of humor and a potent sense of swing, two characteristics that come to a head at the knowingly goofy closer "Whatever Happened to Dobie Strange," a monologue that swipes liberally from
Bootsy Collins
. Those good spirits and professional punch are enough to keep
engaging and entertaining throughout its zippy running time. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
