Kid Congo Powers is a bona fide rock & roll legend even if he isn’t a household name. A founding member of the Gun Club with Jeffrey Lee Pierce, he’s also played with the Cramps, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, and Barry Adamson on Moss Side Story. He’s done some other things, such as co-fronted the great but underrated and moody Congo Norvell project with Sally Norvell, but to his credit, before Dracula Boots, he’s issued only one other album under his own name even though he’s had a compilation released of his work with other people. He is the non-guitar hero’s guitar hero: he’s never been flashy, preferring a very basic approach to playing garage rock, blues, Chicano rock, and swamp. Dracula Boots is so utterly gritty and nasty that it could have come from the Detroit scene, the one that spawned the Dirtbombs, the Henchmen, and Andre Williams' later work. On his MySpace page he lists “Soul Finger” by the Bar-Kays as an influence, and that’s not far off here. The difference is that while this is nasty butt-shaking funk, it’s as if it were being played by Link Wray with a ‘60s low-rider East L.A. garage band backing Williams. The grooves are hot, butt-shaking, and funky, but they don’t contain loads of breakbeats, rubbery basslines, or faux James Brown shouts. Congo may be the frontman, but while he vocalizes, he doesn’t sing. He simply growls or snarls his words out, or offers them in a tortured teenaged fuzz rock bravado whisper. Bassist Kiki Solis is the anchor; the bass is ever up-front on these tracks, leading the firebrand charge. The tunes are primitive, often two or three chords drenched in tinny reverb, Ron Miller's organ, a stripped trap kit, and of course Congo's knife-edged, purposely sloppy guitar work. Highlights on this set include “Funky Fly,” which sounds like its title; the frenetic “Hitchhiking,” which takes the riff from “I Don’t Need No Doctor” to horrific depths; and “Bobo Boogie,” a cut so utterly infectious that the listener will be tempted to put it on endless repeat. Dracula Boots is a nice return to rock & roll basics from one of its most trusted and underappreciated practitioners.

Little surprise that Kid Congo Powers should kick off an album that sounds like it belongs somewhere at a garage Frug session, a just-south-of-the-border bar in the 1960s with Jack Nitzsche trying to make a horn section do something it wouldn't normally do -- and even less surprise that Kid Congo wouldn't have it any other way. With the sleazed-up skronk and shake of "Bo Bo Boogaloo" kicking things off, Gorilla Rose finds Powers and company, including new bandmember/multi-instrumentalist Jesse Roberts, enjoying themselves to the full, as if that era not only never died but neither did any of the people in it -- and who could go against such a fine wish? Hearing Powers intone various celebrations of things like black leather and bad habits on "Goldin Browne" as R&B grooves and sneering guitar kick along is great, as is his glammed-up Bukowski scenario on "Flypaper." There's more actual singing at various points as well, such as on "At the Ruin of Others," though even then he sounds like he's aiming to be the slightly more tuneful narrator at the opening of Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, letting his guitar do the talking as needed (and on that song, really cranking it up on the solo). There are instrumentals throughout, like "Bubble Trouble" with its guitar line that's near pure scuzz even as the grooves urge listeners to do their best Toni Basil imitation (or worse, Austin Powers, depending), while song titles like "Hills of Pills" and "Lord Bloodbathington" kinda say it all as it is (and the keyboards on the latter make for the perfect arch-European/horror movie touch). Then there's "Our Other World," with Powers telling an entertaining tale about his days working "in a Hollywood record store," dealing with an angry Rick James, punk-era antics, and more besides, while the organs pump, the grooves swing, and the whole thing feels like the best autobiography not yet filmed.

Kid Congo Powers (the stage name of Brian Tristan) is hardly a kid these days. He is, after all, the veteran garage guitarist from the Gun Club and the Cramps, did a stint with Nick Cave's Bad Seeds, and Haunted Head is the third album he has done with his current band, the Pink Monkey Birds (bassist Kiki Solis, drummer Ron Miller, and guitarist Jesse Roberts). No, he might not be a kid these days, but he's lost none of his youthful goofiness or any urge to stop playing punk garage rock like it never went out of style, which it never truly does. But in Powers' world, Iggy and the Stooges get merged with the Three Stooges, and this is visionary cartoon rock full of surf overtones, fuzzy guitars, and Captain Beefheart lyrics that seem more made up on the spot than actually written. Powers is hardly a great vocalist, sounding more like a beat poet speaking and slightly chanting his latest musings backed by a ragged, kick-ass band channeling the ghost of Screamin' Jay Hawkins backed by the Stones lost in New Orleans at their drunkest. The whole album is a slab of loose noise that somehow gets over on its own verve and kinetics, with songs emerging from the mix in Powers' baritone singing/speaking voice. "Let's Go!" is a fraying, joyous call for motion and action; the opener, "Lurch," does just that, lurching about like a delightful lost surf tune on too much whiskey; and "Killer Diller" somehow works as a tribute to comedian Phyllis Diller merged with the 1950s ghost of Jerry Lee Lewis. "Dance Me Swamply" is Powers' version of a love song, although even it exists in a strange twilight world of juju cartoons. This is Kid Congo Powers. He may not be a kid anymore, but he isn't too big on changing his style, which is a good thing.
