Ray Condo & His Hardrock Goners
Canadian band - good 'straight rock'n'roll/rockabilly'. Plays well. This was Ray Condo's first album, and arguably his best. The instrumental, 'Pepstepper's stomp', is pretty strange, and must be a VERY old tune, conjouring up images of eastern Europe somehow. Overall, though, the title's a bit of a misnomer. This CD rocks! Sure, it's all covers, but The Hardrock Goners are not just playin' em to sound authentic - they ATTACK the songs (and that TRULY makes it authentic!).
The Original lineup of the Hardrock Goners featured Clive Jackson on bass, Edgar Bridwell on violin, Peter Sandmark on drums, Chris Dean on banjo, Eric Sandmark on lead guitar and Ray Condo on acoustic guitar and lead vocals. Ray Condo moved on to Vancouver in 1992, where he started up Ray Condo and The Ricochets. Ray died in 2004 aged just 53.
