Album Notes

The Girl: Rockin Bonnie
Back in ’53 when Charline Arthur sang ‘I Heard About You’, she could never have imagined that some half a century later, and halfway around the world, a feisty young Italian singer, Sabrina, aka. Rockin Bonnie, would be singing the same words and echoing the same sassy energy...!

The Boys: The Rot Gut Shots
Max plays guitar like an old 50s truck rattling along a dusty road. Enjoying the ride in the sunshine, he has such a carefree and easy style, it simply makes you smile with happiness. The maestro on the Bull Fiddle, is the lightning fingered and totally unique Nuno. The finest bass player in the world? Many believe so.
On drums,the beatmaster Manuel, the rhythm oozing effortlessly from his hands and some fine piano work from Jerry, makes the sound from the 88, pound along with the rhythm section when required, or take a solo like a soaring bird. These guys may ‘Love Booze’... but they also love rockin music and having fun making it.

The Record: Cocktail Jubilee
This album has all the ingredients to make one strong cocktail of musical styles. Start with the barrelling piano pumping honky tonk of ‘I Wanna Make Love’, pour in a measure of classic Country rockabilly with, ‘What Am I Worth’ and then add a dash of solid self penned rock’n’roll with ‘Burnin’. Mix in a classic duet, ‘Time’s A Wastin’, with a slice of steel guitar... shake well and serve in a cool glass... and if they all turn out like this, keep ‘em coming!!!
