"As far as the other great media genres are concerned, John McLaughlin and the Rogues may be comparable to an abstract painting, an obscure yet valuable corner of the musical world. John McLaughlin and the Rogues sound hit somewhere between dark Americana, dieselpunk, and “eerie graveyard blues.” The album is well orchestrated, but the band is best in a live setting. The group has a certain cohesion that is akin to what you might find in an experienced jazz combo. Their solid percussion, jazzy bass, and piano combine to form a strong rhythm section. Sax accents, growly vocals and guitar solos further compliment their Tom Waits-esque sound. If you have an ear to lend and an open mind, John McLaughlin and Rogues will certainly deliver.
