First
off, looking at the CD tracklist, this is a great selection of
covers these crazy Canucks have chosen to interpret. What we get is
high octane, edgy rockabilly music that takes the classics and
updates the sound into the 21st century while respecting
the original classics. This is hard rockin’ rockabilly music, not
too dissimilar from Highway 13, that seems to be taken from a live
set. But not to fear, this is a tight set that is very well recorded
with all the instrument being crystal clear with perfect levels on
the vocals. This band really knows how to play music that gets your
interest, keeps it, and makes you want more. Of the covers they have
chosen, my personal favorites are Joe Bennett & Sparkletones
“Black Slacks”, Gene Vincent’s “Say Mama” and Johnny Burnette’s
“Lonesome Train”. All of the songs here are energetic and
fantastically arranged. This CD has been in my player for some time
now and doesn’t see it leaving for some time to come. Highly
recommended. Reviewed by DFJ
