'Roll Bus Roll' is one of the standout tracks from the new L.P from Jeffrey Lewis and the Junkyard. The majority of the album sees Jeffrey Lewis exploring new avenues with an expanded backing band line-up but 'Roll Bus Roll' is in the traditional vein of Jeffrey Lewis's previous efforts. This suits me as I'm still unsure about the indie rock orientation of the album. an excellent folksy sing-a-long with a tasty folk jam at the end. B-side 'Broken Song' is a collaborative songwriting effort with brother Jack lewis and is a shambolic ramshackle country rock number. This should be on the album, it's a corker and reminds me of a really enthusiastic Sebadoh. Ace.
