Power 96 Cool One Recap: Screamin’ Cheetah Wheelies

Tuesday's Power 96 Cool One was the Screamin' Cheetah Wheelies' " Shakin' the Blues" from their self-titled album. Released in 1994, their debut effort came in at No. 40 on the U.S. Billboard Heatseekers chart. The single climbed to No. 9 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart while the other charting single, "Ride the Tide," peaked at No. 20.

This is a band I knew I'd like before I even heard what they sounded like. How could they go wrong with a name like Screamin' Cheetah Wheelies? Each one of the words in their moniker appeals to me. Formed in 1990, this band out of Nashville has a southern rock and boogie style sound and have released three studio albums and three live albums over the years. I recommend them if you like Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Black Crowes or Collective Soul because they echo the sound of all three of these bands if you mixed them together.
