Jacknife Lee knows how to have a good time, and on his second album, PUNK ROCK HIGH ROLLER, he revels in them, whether the surf guitar strums of "1970's Dictator Chic" or the Hawaiian groove of "Aloha Satellite Special." The party on "Do You Thing Cornball" is plenty funky, even if Lee's voice has a bit of deadpan to it (you'd think his announcement of "I Love Your Sauce" would be more emphatic, at least!) But it's all in good fun. When he goes for lounge relaxation, as on "I Think About You" or couuntry twang of "Easy," he taps that early 2000s downtempo vibe. The strings that chase the bass on "My Baby Got the Beat" are appropriately grand, but it's "Bursting Off the Backbeat" and really effervesces. The final track, "Jacknife Is Your Friend, Let Me In" is a radio station beamed in from the planet of easy-listening, and it's a satisfying cap to a joyous, upbeat album.
