Mutts main man Mike Maimone goes hardboiled lounge lizard on his new EP Strong Enough. He deconstructs and attacks four popular songs, which works best with Fiona Apple's Criminal.
Thye will hate in Starbucks, but cool bars will book him. What's not to like about passionately Tom Waits-ing well-known tunes, using a beat-up keyboard and kick drum? Charles Bukowski would have loved this.
Strong Enough is a self-released EP. Buy it (pay-what-you-want) from his website.
