Flatfoot Shakers
"I remember being swept off my feet when I first heard this band, so you can bet I'm eager to put this silver platter in the juke machine. Kieron's been busy again, he wrote 14 out of the 18 songs presented, starting with a hot rockabilly bopper 'Gold Diggin' Mama'. Peter Baylor plays a mean lead guitar. 'I'm Getting Rid Of You' is a bit of a ballad, unique voice this man Kieron has, followed by another rockabilly sweeper 'The Love Bug'. Gene Pitney's '61 hit 'Louisiana Mama' sounds neat with a mean slapping bass. 'The Friday Night Hop' is kinda of a slow hop with a hillbilly touch and the opening of Kieron's 'Eighteen' reminds a lot of 'Woodpecker Rock', real cool!. 'Waiting For You' is one more of Kieron's swell ballads. More country bop with 'The Honeymoon Is Over', followed by an uptempo love song with a greasy slap titled 'Carolien'. 'Sentimental Fool' is another slow thing... or not? Kieron's sad voice lasts for about a minute, when a hard hitting doghouse bass takes the song to new heights. A shiver just went down my spine, an indicator I can always depend on when I hear good music. Don't hold back now, just let these guys go wild on Pat Cupp's 'I Guess It's Meant That Way', and to close this super cool album, we'll get to listen to Faron Young's 'Alone With You', a song that superbly combines Kieron's sad voice, Peter's searing lead guitar and a thumping bass."
