"...Most
people on the Rockabilly scene will already be aware of Charlie Thompson's
awesome vocal range and talent. Equally the incredible musicianship
of his young Swedish band is widely recognized - but this album goes
far beyond a 'capable band' and 'good recording': For most bands that
would be enough but not for Charlie and the boys.....
When these guys record a song they not only make it sound great but
they make it 'feel right'. Anyone can perform a cover and copy it
note for note - bands do it all the time. What Charlie Thompson does
in the studio is get the style, atmosphere and feel of each song exactly
right. This is an incredibly rare talent, to the point where your
mind start playing tricks and you begin to wonder who recorded the
track first. Tail Records is not just a studio, it's a time machine....and
it works!
Adding to an already impressive choice of rare Rockabilly classics,
a hot new pounding rocker 'Eanie meanie baby' and club strolling hit
'Sittin and Waitin' both written by young guitarist Fredrik Rosen,
rattling 'Model A Ford' tail written by Charlie, the haunting melody
of 'Kathleen', the cheeky humour of 'I like that kind' and of course,
the Moonshine fuelled alternate take of 'Indian Joe'. If this album
doesn't make you turn around, I'll eat Charlie's Stetson hat!..."
