Ray Black & the Flying Carpets

Downtown Ride

(Rhythm Bomb Records)



Swingin' like a gate, from the Land of Chocolate. Sign on the door: No Squares Allowed. Straight from the fridge, they clearly learned to move their bones at the Gene S. Institute. Now givin' out licks that cram hardwood.

From DJ Wildgoner's liner notes: "To simply call them a Rockabilly band wouldn't do them justice, as they also draw their musical influences from 1950s Rock'n'Roll, early 1960s Garage/R&B, and early 1960s Country."

Recommended: "Downtown Ride," "Hornet Bop," "That's What I'd Do," "Speed King," "Big Ol' Spark," "Rockin' In Baghdad," "When the Sun Comes Up," "Burning Lips," "I Never Felt This Way"

Video: "Speed King"
