The Lustre Kings
Go Green (Wild Boar)

The Lustre Kings dig that true-hearted rockabilly has a country core, and their unfeigned love of the rebel music is infectious. The good-time sounds purveyed by Gretsch-slinger Mark Gamsjager and co. swing, bop, and wheel in formidable fashion; so enthusiastically so that the world's 
hardwood dance floors surely fear the Lustre Kings. Each hip-dipped step of the way, affable character predominates. We're all in this big beat, twangin' celebration together.  

Recommended: "It Ain't Right,"  "Don't Let Go," "First Train Heading South," "I'm Through," "Boogie Woogie Country Girl," "Try Me"
