'(Lazy Ike and the Daredevils offer) solid old-timey Country music with fresh modern interpretation, not forgetting to give it a good beat so you can dance to it. Greg -- Lazy Ike -- Huff has a voice very similar to Mark Stuart of the Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash, but with a lot rounder tone and less cigarette damage. The band recently put out a very solid collection of new music on their disk, Someday. Songs like Someday, Someone, Last Night I Drank Myself Sober, and Long, Tall, Shadows are perfect drinkin' dancin' barfightin' numbers and they feel, sound and smell like they were born from the classic wood-paneling and shiny floors of Lee's (Liquor Lounge, in Minneapolis).
If you're a fan of anyone from Faron Young to Buck Owens to the Flying Burritos to Reverend Horton Heat to the Bastard Sons to BR549, you're going to enjoy (Someday) and any Lazy Ike live show. ...'~ Jack Sparks, DJ on WEZU 1220 'I ... really enjoyed (Lazy Ike and the Daredevils' CD, Someday). (Lazy Ike has) a bad-ass voice, one that you don't hear many of these days! The songs are great — after I listened to the CD, I always walked around humming Someday all day. And Last Night I Drank Myself Sober is one of the coolest tunes I've heard in a while. ... Again, I was also really impressed with (Lazy Ike’s) singing -- (he has) a lot of power and great control, with a whoop-ass vibrato too. It was great to hear.'~ Roger Wallace, Austin, Texas singer-songwriter 'When Lazy Ike Ely of Lazy Ike and the Daredevils starts singing, he can convery a message of love and heartbreak in just one breath.
The persistence of heartbreak and longing as themes in their music make it clear that artists like Johnny Cash, Hank williams Sr. and even Elvis have had an influence on the Minneapolis-based band. This is the type of band that can make you drink shots of cheap whiskey out of the blue; it’s the sound that shouts from the jukebox at 3 a.m.
The Daredevils aren’t just about crying in your beer though, they can also get you movin’ with one nasty rip of a guitar chord. Daredevil indeed: they’ll take on all comers, and still keep the house rocking long into the night.'~ Louis Lenzmeier, Pulse of the Twin Cities |
