Mr. Black & the 5000 Cadillacs

Britannia Live!   5-track release

(Musakonttori)




A 1956 North Carolina newspaper observed: "Several persons were injured when police fired tear gas to break up a Rock'n'Roll riot here last night. They fired gas grenades into ventilation ducts at the dance hall..."

Now as then, the Rebel Music hath inciteful charms.

From Britannia Live!, table-flipping, widow-smashing celebration erupts full-blast, as rock-ribbed rhythm cats loose hunks of righteous bop. Lessons carved by luminaries are swung with fresh punch. Declamations soar like torpedoes. 

It's like 1956 again, but juiced up and on fire.

Recommended: "I'm On Fire," "Mad Men," "Cruise To Tiptonville," "Cadillac Time," "Stutterin' Cindy"
