Danny J featuring Mark Shurilla & The Greatest Hits, Larry Lynne
Milwaukee's Soul of Rock & Roll
Ah,
nostalgia. Longtime
Former
new waver and sometime Buddy Holly impersonator Mark Shurilla offers a few
originals, one commemorating the plane crash that killed Holly and another
saluting his love of raw Southern soul (and soulful ladies). Other vocalists
besides Danny J, Shurilla and former Skunks member Larry Lynne offer the
impression that Milwaukee's Soul of Rock
& Roll could double as the soundtrack for a rockin' stage revue. Those
who have been around as long as J will be familiar with most of the tunes he
and his cohorts play. They sing for the love of the songs and the memories they
evoke.
