The Mean Cat Daddies were a UK Rockabilly outfit with some great 'moody' Eurobilly songs. Joe Meek would have loved them. The title song would have worked well in a French art-sex film of the mid-Sixties. While many guitarists have difficulty in getting enough sustain out of Gretsch guitar and resort to subtle distortion, this guy had no problem in producing long clear notes from one! Think of Shane Fenton and The Fentones crossed with Sanford Clark....

Mean Cat Daddies
"This CD is not really rockabilly but almost like punk played with a rockabilly sounding guitar and not the usual punk rock distortion. It is hard to describe the sound that the Mean Cat Daddies have - it obviously has roots music influence but it is played more like a punk band than anything else. The singer has a good voice for an indie rock band and doesn't have the affects of a rockabilly singer. Musically, it is chord driven with a good rhythm section that includes a slap bass to give it that rockabilly touch. The songs are all pretty drivin' with some surf guitar thrown into the mix of varying styles. The songs are pretty catchy thanks to the singer's melodies and after a few listens this really starts to grow on you although it is not a rockabilly sound but it is a good style with rockabilly influences that are obvious. This may appeal to those who also like indie rock but for rockabilly purists, this record will probably not be to your liking." Rockabilly review
"'Ghost Of Your Love' by The Mean Cat Daddies is the excellent first album from this great British Neo-Rockabilly band. Packed with original tracks, the Mean Cat Daddies show their talent for both writing and performing, and their ability to switch seamlessly from an all out rocker to a moody ballad. Great stuff!"
