Eddie Clendening and the Blue Ribbon Boys

Shake, Rattle, and Blue Moon!

(Custom Recording Co.)




As I'm sure Eddie himself would rush to acknowledge, no revivalist could equal The King. And that truth should dissuade most aspirants. But Eddie comes so close as to nearly scare. Aided by prodigious Blue Ribbon Boys Jacob Woodside and Jonny Bowler, and employing the same techniques and equipment that made Sam Phillips legendary, the Ed Norton-lookalike acquits himself impressively on Elvis's "lost songs" from 1954-1955 -- days when rockabilly's country aspect was in manifest aspect.

Some might argue the time machine hasn't been invented. They haven't heard this record. 

Recommended: "Tennessee Saturday Night," "I've Got a Woman," "Little Mama," "Maybelline," "Tweedle Dee," "Blue Moon Of Kentucky," "Hearts Of Stone," "Tiger Man," "Money Honey," "How Do You Think I Feel?"
