Kongos – (self-titled)
2007 (no label)
Murphy’s pick: “The Way”

Kongos doesn’t look like rockers, and their music doesn’t quite sound like normal rock. Makes sense then! If you’re looking for something different than the standard, including the accordion in rock music (and not Paul Simon-type of global pop, but ROCK!) then this band is for you. Without question, the most interesting part of this band in my ears is the drive of each song. I could believe this song is comprised of drummers who happen to play noted instruments. Each song has so much attention to the groove that it sounds like another level of music has been reached that other people haven’t quite made it to. GREAT record!
