Stevie Silver
Cruisin' feat. Duke Robillard
(Self-issued)

Boston's Stevie is one of us: a devotee of Sounds Cool (particularly those of Blues and vintage Rock'n'Roll classification) since way back. Here, at times hot-pickin' alone and elsewhere abetted by the storied Duke (in the Sun studio!), Stevie steamrolls through originals and chestnuts of cement-solid character. Smooth, though never to the excess that would strip tunes of crucial roughness, these interpretations skim with palpable oomph. Let every cat be aware that Rock'n'Roll runs this joint - and the house always wins.
Recommended: "Cruisin'," "Apache" (w/Duke), "Rip It Up," "Aces & Eights," "Gimmie, Gimmie," "Racing with the Devil" (w/Duke), "Sleepwalk" (w/Duke), "Wild Child" (w/Duke)
