Album of the Week: JACK OBLIVIAN AND THE SHEIKS – ‘Lone Ranger of Love’ “Jack Oblivian is a legend of Memphis garage rock and hometown label Black & Wyatt is giving us an early Christmas present with the vinyl re-release of the 2016 Jack Oblivian and the Sheiks album ‘Lone Ranger of Love’. Jack initially released the album on his own label – Mony Records and it has long been sold out. Diehards will recognize a few tracks from the 2019 release ‘Lost Weekend’but here he is backed by The Sheiks and a few friends and they kick things up a notch or two especially on a track like the garage rock stomper ‘Boy in a Bubble.’ The Sheiks have been Jack’s band since 2014 and have performed as a trio of Keith Cooper (lead guitar), Frank McLallen (bass guitar) and Graham Winchester (drums). In 2015 Seth Moody joined Jack’s band on saxophone, keyboards and guitar… ‘Lone Ranger of Love’is clearly an example of a pro making the album he wants to make and we’re all better off for it. That The Sheiks are no slouches makes it a double whammy!” – Fifty Third & Thrid
