Jam bands are not my thing at all. Usually I'm like let's get on with already. Nashville's Moon Taxi is different. They meld rock sensibilities with a country swagger and put on a jam band mask. With their latest album, Cabaret, Moon Taxi have found a genre busting mix of songs that is sure to get your toes tapping. Album opener (and highlight), "Mercury" is a Kings of Leon-esque affair with lead singer Trevor Turndrup sounding his raspy-voiced best, especially on the sky high chorus. The rest of the album is a rock/jam dream. Fans of Kings of Leon or Ponderosa are sure to love Moon Taxi.
