Hi-Tone Combo

Plumb Brandy Boogie

(Self-issued)


Bannering illustrious inspirations like Bo Diddley and Carl Perkins poses a risk: Any band doing so, but that lacks ample chops, will fall to deserved ruin. That such is not the case in this instance can be established by simply dropping the needle. Hi-Tone Combo draws upon revered predecessors, true, but never to mask inadequacy. Rather, well-selected influences prompt wonderfully familiar rollicks that enjoy crisp enhancement. Grab a partner, assured that you are in the company of friends.

Recommended: "Rock'n'Roll Party," "Don't Say It Ain't True," "Cat Clothes," "Look At That Girl," "I Can't Stop It," "Plumb Brandy Boogie," "Mercury Blues"
