Master Modeler Weldon McDowell, Jr.: new Son Powers album “…a masterful job.”

July 13, 2010 - PRLog -- “Son Powers’ newest album “Strike You Down” is a real tire-smoker!  My favorites are “Send You Back To Satan,” “Do The Best You Can,” and the Question Mark and the Mysterions-inspired “If I Could Tell My Future!”  And lemme give a special Finkster shout-out to drummer Rob Piazza for his up-front stylings on “Crab Pulsar Blues.”  You both did a masterful job!”

Weldon McDowell, Jr. built his first Rat Fink model during the summer of 1963.  More recently he was one of the Kustom Kulture artists asked to build and custom paint a promotional, 12" tall, Rat Fink for the premiere of the movie "Tales of the Rat Fink" in Austin, Texas.  McDowell’s resulting effort “’63 Old School Rat Fink” appears in the book “Rat Fink’s Revenge” compiled by David Chodosh with Ken Morgan and Michael Polis.  Other artists featured include Anthony Ausgang, Greg “Coop” Cooper, Dirty Donny, Jimmy Flintstone, Mark Mothersbaugh, Ed “Newt” Newton, Gary Panter, Savage Pencil, Kenny Scharf, The Pizz, and Keith Weesner.  Weldon builds real hotrods as well, and his award winning orange El Camino appears in the book "Chevrolet El Camino Photo History Including GMC Sprint & Caballero" by Monty Montgomery and in Car Collector magazine.  McDowell recently completed a commission to build and paint all 12 original Revell Ed “Big Daddy” Roth Fink kits for permanent display at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles beginning in Summer 2010.  Photos are posted at www.EdRothWorld.com.

Son Powers is a reclusive southern blues songwriter and occasional performer.  An alumnus of the Jacksonville, Florida blues/rock power trio Worldwide Hoodoo, Powers’ earlier bands include Crosscut Saw, King Bee, Parker Brothers, and Charles Atkins & The Blues Boys.  The new album “Strike You Down” is available on CDBaby.com, eBay.com, and other music websites.
