Straight ahead and no fooling around
author: Carl M. Nielsen
This is pure rockabilly! - very specific, straight and stylistic, directly in the tradition of The Burnette Trio blended with some influences from the Sun artists, especially Johnny Cash, but more discreate also Perkins and Presley. A well balanced combination of own songs and covers. For the latter part very convincing. Really shining in Hal Harris' classic "Jitterbop Baby", maby not better than the original, but just as good. But there are some good originals too. Check out "Midnight Stalker" or "Loving Thang". Great songs! More important than the source of the material is the honesty of this album. It is not trying to be anything else than it is. It's rockabilly, straight ahead rockabilly, not trying to fool anyone, not getting in to smart ass show offs. No shit. Just playing good, honest music. No more - no less.

Great Stuff! A must have for any rockabilly fan.

While the content is not groundbreaking, it is a very solid work that any band would be proud to call it's baby. The production is excellent resulting in a very polished work that still manages to keep its raw edge. Crash's unique vocal style really shines on track 3 "I'm Dreaming Of You" resulting in a new favorite for me. Several tracks (Bedrock, Thanks Alot, Midnight Stalker) are humorous and fun and are bound to stick in your head. I love all the versions of "I Don't Wanna Grow Up" (Tom Waits, The Ramones) and Crash does this timeless classic "Justice" as well. I highly recommend this CD.
