King Drapes

Hot Rock Teds

(Rebel Music Records)



Rock'n'Roll that revels outside benign parameters contains an element of menace. That truism is particularly valid in Rockabilly's case. These flick-knife wolves generously accent their lean, turbulent rocking with swagger alien to favored pop. Boldly trumpeted and limber-limbed bop exercises are occasionally offset by more relaxed, tuneful airs. But such serenity inevitably surrenders spotlight when swinging vigor returns to reclaim authority. 

Recommended: "Teds Here We Come," "I Will Stay," "Bad Rockabilly Suicide Girl," "Five Hundred Miles," "Half a Rocker Half a Ted," "Back On the Road," "Rockabilly Tattoo," "We Got a Date," "Can't Help Fallin' In Love," "Love Another"
