The Rockabilly Band

This Ain't the Life

(BS Productions)




"My Daddy wore his work shoes to his grave, and I wore his church shoes the day he went away / He worked hard for everything he got, and I remember him every time I put on his shoes."

This wax isn't for everyone - only those of us who celebrate just-plain-folks Rockabilly. No one on stage has anything in mind other than locating and romancing the Country/Bop gem. "Tighter'n a 10 cent top," as Sheriff Andy once remarked. The songcraft is of upper station, instrumental disposition efficacious, and - as for persons unhip - we don't want them obstructing our kicks, anyhoo. 

Recommended: "This Ain't the Life," "Chasing Shadows," "Sand in Our Toes," "A Place I've Never Been," "Rockin' Nights," "I Didn't Know I Was Poor," "Makin' Memories," "My Daddy's Shoes," "Rock'n'Roll Rendezvous"

Videos: "This Ain't the Life"   "Rockin' Nights"   "My Daddy's Shoes"
