Russ Be-bop's Roadrunners
If there's one thing that sets this band's output from the current crop of UK Neo-Rockabilly bands, it's their ability to mix in a feel of mid-sixties British 'Pop/R&B', and very pleasing musical mix emerges. Wailing harmonica, 'chug-a-lug' guitar, elements of Johnny Kidd and The Pirates, The Kinks, The Rolling Stones, Chuck Berry and the Blue Cats all merge into a wonderfully pleasurable experience. It's hard to believe that these guys did not live through the period that they capture so well! Their music is one of the most requested on Dell Richardson's 'Good Rockin' Tonight' show. Buy it and find out why. Roy Williams, March 2000
