Kieron McDonald

Because Of You   4-track EP

(Sleazy Records)



Australian finger-popper Kieron (the Flatfoot Shakers' founder) is possessed of pipes eminently suited to let's-get-loose bop. While cats at his back give out with snapped-tight shakings - prominent are Kid James' lapel-seizing guitar lines - Kieron dispatches lyrics with cool-daddy aplomb; consistently on the beam, the man plainly digs the melody cruise. And when's the last time anyone heard a Rockabilly Rebel name-check Dino?

Recommended: "Because of You," "All She Wants to hear is Dean Martin," "Exotic Woman," "At the Bop Hop"
