We’re assuming the title is a rhetorical question. And, hell yeah we can dig it. We don’t care if you’ve got a terrible band name, we love your set list: Stax classics, blues treasures and “Too Much Time,” an extra-obscure Captain Beefheart tune. Everybody does r & b covers, almost nobody does them well. Boston-based Chicken Slacks – thanks to Diamond D’s real soul shouting, righteous, punchy horns, and guitarist Mike Null’s authentic tone and restraint – deserve much love for just getting it right. Download: the Eddie Bo-penned slice of New Orleans funk, “Hook and Sling.” (Appearing every Thursday at the Cantab Lounge, Cambridge.)
