"Here's a new CD from a San Antonio,
Texas group with a totally refreshing sound! A quartet with the basic
original rockabilly sound of acoustic guitar, lead electric guitar,
upright bass and vocals, they preserve the original edge of country
music that lead to the rockabilly sound. We have really enjoyed their
shows the few times we got to see them up here in Seattle. Most of the
13 tunes on Whiskey Nights are original, either written by singer Lil'
Bit Adams, or bass player Tomcat Miller. Lead guitarist Brian Duarte
also is featured on his own instrumental 'Stampede'. I really like his
playing, which suits this band perfectly, and he also plays a little
steel! The covers come from the Louvin Brothers (Red Hen Hop) and Reno
& Smiley (Country Boy Rock n' Roll). Everything has a laid back
feel, which is why I said refreshing up above. So many bands feel the
need to our rock everybody else, and lose important aspects of life
and music from the 50s. We all like to rock too, but it's nice to do
it in a more relaxed fasion some of the time. I really like this band,
and I like their new CD a lot too! |
