agood mix of rockabilly, rock'n'roll, blues & country
author: Fred "Virgil" Turgis - Jumpin' from 6 to 6
A very pleasant debut album by Dagmar and the Seductones. Bob Newcaster and Bryan Smith respectively guitar player and bassist are no stranger to rockabilly fans as they played with Tex Rubinowitz. “A Little Bitta Love”, a Dagmar’s own, is a great rocker and so is “Red Hot” that leaves the listener breathless. A perfect showcase for a powerful voice and nice piano too. It’s time to slow down a bit and this is what the “Fever” type song “Evil” does, and sees Dagmar in a seductive mood. “Living A Lie” and “Since I Met You Baby” add some blues to the mix and show how Dagmar is at ease with that style too with her warm voice. “Lucky Stars” is a nice Buddy Holly type of song with a neo-rockabilly feel in it. It’s time again to slow the pace with the rock’n’roll ballad “Leavin’ On Your Mind”. “Let’s Have A Party” is played in a bluesy vein and they don’t try to compete with Wanda Jackson and this is a good point as I think Wanda is unbeatable on this one. “Poor Man’s Roses” adds a very welcome touch of honky tonk and so do “You Belong To Me”. You regret she doesn’t sing more in that style. Hopefully, there’ll be more like that in the next one that should be out very soon

Take a trip back to the 1950s with Dagmar and the Seductones' album, Little Bitta Love. The disc emits a feeling of a time when sock hops were cool and rockabilly ruled. Fiery songs like "Red Hot" and "Let's Have a Party" nicely compliment swing tunes such as "Evil" to form a well-rounded album. The throaty voice of singer, Dagmar, is well backed by the impressive instrumental talents of the Seductones.

Great record, full of my favorites and soon to be new favorites!

Dagmar and the Seductones put out a lot more than a "Litte Bitta Love" in this collection of neo-retro rockabilly and country. The veteran band plays if fast and loose, with Dagmar's clear and strong vocals living up to the "seductive" part of the band name. The sex-reversal of "Red Hot" is an unexpected delight that demands repeating. Yee-friggin'-ha!
