Lucky Tubb with Jimbo Wallace – Lucky Tubb with Jimbo Wallace [2018; Fun-Guy Records]

On his second single, Lucky Tubb brings in Reverend Horton Heat bassist Jimbo Wallace to co-write and play a pair of songs.  A-side “Cattlemen’s Stroll” plays with some retro Western dance-hall material, with a mellow melody eased along on brassy guitar licks.  The B-side, “There’s Not A Day”, shifts to a more modern rockabilly strut for a quick ramble, returning to the throw-back flavor for its finish.  Well-played and earnest in its homaging, but nothing to make it really stand out too much besides the pedigrees of the people involved.
