Endless Boogie - Long Island (No Quarter, 2013)

Never has a name been more fitting of a band's sound - Endless Boogie.  It's a bunch of old guys jammin' some sort of seventies classic rock/stoner rock/kraut rock hybrid, and the record is so long it's only a few seconds short of a CD's max length (the record is 79:36 to be exact).  And when I say old, I mean actually old, as in some of these dudes might have grandkids old.  Matt Sweeney (formerly of one of the all-time great bands Chavez) recently joined the group; he's probably in his forties, and is probably referred to as "the kid" in practice.  I like their jams, but in small doses...after two or three nearly ten minute long songs, you feel like you've had your fill.  Worth checking out if you dig this kind of music, but not a must-have.
