Jackyl-Night Of The Living Dead (Music For Nations '96)

Jackyl's a band that's done surprisingly brisk business with their redneck roots metal, so it's only a bit stupid to be making this live record after only two slabs. I caught the band live in T.O., backing up Aerosmith, and they are pretty good at their shtick (let's face it, these are easy songs to play live). So here we have it, a record manufactured in England, distributed by Futurist at regular price, celebrating a New Year's Eve gig in Dallas ushering in '95. The sound is solid, pure concert bottom end, and Jesse's Jesse, circus-mastering the band through eight album highlights plus two newies, Mental Masturbation, a no-brains booger, and Deeper In Darkness, one of those Hagar hang-fer-verse then cut in with a mean riff thangs. Some photos, a dirty little letter from Dupree, and a hair band with a quarter ounce of integrity good time.
