Dan Electro & The Silvertones

"Reason To Lie"

This cD is so full of energy, it's hard to stay seated when you listen to it.  Dan Electro & The Silvertones are a slick, tight, swingin' jump band and they don't slow down anywhere on this album-even on a song called Too Tired.

Reason To Lie shows off the band's considerable talents with Dan Electro's effulgent harmonica and energetic vocals leading the group through 16 songs-most of them originals. Greg Poulos' nimble guitar and solid horn and rhythm sections back up Electro, playing with the relaxed precision of long-time pros. The light-hearted fun this band projects is reflected in the song selection. Tunes like Just Too cool, Middle Age Mutant, and 15 Minutes >From Spent  keep the dynamic strictly tongue-in-cheek and all fun.  I don't know if Dan & the band considered this when they produced it, but their cD is one of the best exercise albums I've ever heard. Follow any routine to these torrid tunes and I'll guarantee weight loss.

Anybody who likes to dance or just listen to some high-energy jump blues will find Reason To Lie very satisfying.
