J Lee and the Hoodoo Skulls - Bluesy Roots with 50's Rock Swagger
from Top Hill Recording Podcast · host Neil Johnstone/Brad Weston
J Lee and The Hoodoo Skulls, from Surrey UK, were formed when lead singer J Lee Barratt had a yearning to make a traditional rock 'n roll/blues album. J Lee has been around roots music all his life and this foundation led to a love of roots and blues music. Fronted by J Lee, with Harun Kotch (lead guitarist and co-writer/producer), Wayne Riches (drums) and Mike Hartnett (bass), J Lee and the Hoodoo Skulls create a sound so punchy you'll forget that they come from the UK. Gutsy, edgy, and raw are just some of the words that have been used to describe their sound. Their latest album, Beggars Soul, is a bluesy, roots album littered with rocking riffs, sassy brass and a gripping vintage sound from recording sessions at The Old Chapel, a recording studio in an actual church in Chichester UK. Lo-Fi riff laden gutsy rock with powerful vocals that you can dance to? Fifties rock 'n roll sensibilities with added modern anthemic spice? That’ll be J Lee and The Hoodoo Skulls.
