Memphis Lee and the Creepers

s/t

(California Zephyr Records)


Having germinated in South Wales, this 5-6 man dance band has delighted numerous European festival crowds. Jubilant appeal leaps from the grooves of this thoroughly solid disc on which no lackluster passages appear. Tempos vary, as required by entries ranging from jaunty jivers to leisurely Doo Wop to flat-gone rocking. There exists here much to please all, though particular attraction will likely be felt by couples disposed to whirling beneath colored lights.

Recommended: "Gonna Do It My Way," "Midnight Flyer," "She's My Loving Baby," "Miami," "Just Because," "Small Town Girl," "Man She's a Rocker," "Hot Rod Queen," "Thorn In My Side," "Ellie May," "Somewhere Down the Line," "Fool About You"
