Danko Jones - Born a Lion

"We're calling the white people, black people, Asian, South Asian, Hispanics, Natives, everybody,” Danko Jones sings on “Caramel City,” about his Toronto punk-soul trio’s multicultural hometown. “I like to see it when the worlds collide.” Mostly, though, Jones likes to see bodies colliding, singing about sexual tension in a voice thick with lascivious innuendo. He calls it his “lover call,” but that makes it sound as safe as Barry White. Jones’ brand of eroticism is sinister—and about as reckless as rock ’n’ roll gets.
