Magnificent first full-length album from the rockin' rollin' rhythm & blues orchestra known as the cat pack! Masterful arrangements and superb musical performances, with excellent featured vocalists belting out a mix of jump jiving rock 'n' roll, swing and jump blues classics and originals.

What can I say, this is a real Ronseal of an album - it does EXACTLY what it says on the tin! Just look at the track listing, it doesn't NEED a review. Some wise person has gathered together all those vinyl compilations that got youngsters like me into the music in the late seventies and...

J.p. Mcdermott And Western Bop

A fantastic debut album that proves what the Washington D.C.-area honky-tonk crowd already knows -- J.P. is for real. McDermott can really sing and the band really rocks. It's easy to tell a lot of hard work and love for the music went into this. J.P.'s acoustic guitar drives the train and Bob Newscaster's lead guitar...

The fourth album from this fantastic American band. 18 of the 19 cuts
presented here are previously unreleased original recordings from the
early 1980s, the time when the
world saw a second rockabilly upsurge. The spirit of the 80s runs
throughout, but the music is played how only an American band can -...

Modern Hot-Rod Rockabilly from Belgrade. There's some incredible guitar playing here, and slap-bass man Djordje is becoming known as one of the world's best having played with Deke Dickerson, Lemmy, and Slim Jim Phantom. This is not traditional 50s style Rockabilly, it is very modern and now! Powerful thumpin' stuff with a big Brian Setzer/Stray Cats...

Brian Setzer

N the booklet Brian has written some liner-notes, which he starts with the question :"Why should I record a tribute to Sun Records?"
Well I can say that Brian is one of a few modern rockabilly musicians who should record one for sure, without spoiling the Sun songs (as many rockabilly bands have done and currently...

Garnet Hearts

This first album from The Garnet Hearts presents 14 tracks of pure 1950s style Rockabilly music with a definite Sun Records influence. There are hints of Carl Perkins and Sonny Burgess, but these guys play naturally without trying to be exact copies of the Rockabilly legends.
The production and performance is period perfect, and the songs...

If you are into high energy American music, Reverend Horton Heat and Brian Setzer style, then this album will stay in your CD player for a really long time! It's fast 'n' mean rockabilly with great vocals from Nic Roulette (ex Blue Moon Boys) and lyrics written with a pinch of salt. Recorded in...
