Duke Jupiter - Sweet Cheeks (1978)



Duke Jupiter recorded their first album at the Capricorn studios in Macon, Georgia. Though they were actually from New York, with the help of people like Jaimoe, Randall Bramblett and Chuck Leavell (who also produced the album) their debut turned out to be a real fine southern rock album. Slightly lighter, with hints of Sea Level (surprise!), this was a real find for me. I still play this from time to time and, since I ripped it, it has been making overtime on my Ipod. Do yourself a favor...

I grew up in Upstate NY and never got to see Duke Jupiter, but this album is better than I expected. I had no idea that Chuck Leavell produced it. It sounds exactly like Sea Level album from the "Long Walk Off A Short Pier" era, with vocals that sound exactly like Randall Bramblett and a guitar leads like Jimmy Nall's. Thanks!
