Dave Del Monte & the Cross County Boys
"Rock This House" b/w "Yakety Axe"
(Gooba Records)
The A side offers plain-sailing rocking in esteemed fashion, its solid beat, double-bass underpinning, and trebly interjections complementing vocals both direct and folksy. Boots Randolph's 1963 novelty instrumental is reincarnated on the flip side. Impressively fleet guitar-picking assumes the original's saxophone spot. In 1965, Chet Atkins famously performed an identical instrument trade-off on the jocular tune. His rendition surely inspired this new bouyant jaunt.
