Jared Petteys & the Headliners

Rockabillaque   Two-track disc, digital or vinyl

(Rumble Road)




Alice Cooper's 1970s co-manager, Shep Gordon, once averred that Sinatra punched people "to get into the straight press, which is harder than getting into the music press."

Rockabilly enthusiasts hip to the tip already know that Jared and combo are reliable sources for house-shakin', pick-'em-up-and-put-'em down musicalizing that should only be heard at uppermost volume. Their playing fulfills the Rebel Sound's brash promise of straight-from-the-fridge styling whose very vibe induces lucky listeners to lose themselves in the finger-popping rhythm. As Cliff  said: "Real Country music that just drives along."

So, how can Jared acquire the wider notice he merits? Perhaps he should punch someone.

(Mastered by Deke Dickerson. Various vinyl colorations available.)

Recommended: "Rockabillaque," "Shake a Little"
