Here is yet another recording of Canadian
blues
-
metal
guitarist
Pat Travers
playing his huge classic
rock
hit
"Boom Boom (Out Go the Lights)"
in front of a live audience -- how he can still make it sound so invigorating after all these decades is beyond reason. The upside of this for
Travers
fans, however, comes not from the tunes the man has made his own by interpretation, but from a large number of covers -- with his own inimitable spin -- not recorded before. Here
and band treat listeners to readings of
ZZ Top
's
"Waitin' for the Bus"
and
"Jesus Left for Chicago,"
UFO
"Lights Out,"
Aerosmith
"Last Child,"
Cream
"Politician,"
to name a few. ~ Thom Jurek
