It’s a guy on slide guitar, and an inexperienced girl on drums, playing the Delta blues. The comparison to the White Stripes is inevitable, but to really get a sense of what the Red Hook-based Boom Chick is all about, let’s put the band through our Algorhythm process (patent pending).

Take the roaring, frenetic guitar of T-Rex’s “20th Century Boy” from the 1973 album “Tanx.” Then add …

The swinging dirty Delta blues of “The Originator” on Bo Diddley’s self-titled 1957 album. Then add …

The spooky Mississippi blues of Johnny Lee Hooker from “Boom Boom.” The sum?

Boom Chick’s debut album, “Show Pony.”
