I’ve always thought that somehow it might not be a concidence that the acronym for Los Angeles quartet Patrolled By Radar is PBR. Theirs is working-class roots-rock that finds nuggets of meaning in seemingly workaday scenarios. PBR’s new album “Cool Your Jets,” their third, finds singer-guitarist Jay Souza and mates Bosco Sheff, Ben Johnsen and Preston Mann engaging in more swinging country, roadhouse rock and rollicking folk, with Souza playing raconteur in a voice you imagine was seasoned by many a barroom night. Raise a tallboy to “Lost Cause,” with the Lawrence Welk sample at the outset.
