Jerry Leger – The Good Old Days Are Back in Drag

In late October 2011, Jerry Leger went to friend Tim Bovaconti’s studio to begin work on a series of new songs. Their vision was to capture a sound that harkened back the early days of rock n’ roll. Raw electricity soaked in slapback echo. Bovaconti picked up a bass, Leger his guitar, and the two enlisted Kyle Sullivan to sit in on drums. It was in this formation that the songs on The Good Old Days Are Back in Drag were recorded.

The album is highlighted by the energy of songs such as “You Didn’t Bury Me Deep Enough” and “When the World is Ending.” The band shuffles and shakes in the ragged essentials of its stripped down sound. While slowing for tracks such “You Got Away From Me,“ the album’s intensity never diminishes as it document three musicians hitting their stride with the tape rolling.

The Good Old Days Are Back in Drag follows Leger’s acclaimed 2010 album, Travelling Grey.
