Levi Dexter and the Ripchords, feat. Danny B Harvey

The Complete Studio Recordings   digital album

(Daniel Bryan Harvey)




The early 1980s were electric: Golden-piped Robert Gordon, Danny Dean, and Colin Winski strutted at the fore of a stateside revival of raw Rock'n'Roll. Numerous European precincts seethed in like mode.

Levi had recently left anglo-American neo-Rockabilly dervishes the Rockats (a glad-rags gang the fancy-footwork Roots Man had founded, and to whose thoroughly solid cat-stylings Danny would later add his eminently gone fret ravagings). Shoulder-to-shoulder, and crackingly assisted by young fire-hurlers easily equal to the frenetic mission, Levi and Danny instilled crisp swagger into the wonderfully rakish bop creature first raised up in nights of white-walls, rickety tables, and gravel back-road games of Chicken.

This compilation first saw issuance in 2015. Two versions of the recordings are today available: a 15-track release, and one comprising 19 cuts.

Recommended: "I Get So Excited," "Other Side of Midnight," "Victim of Kool," "Let's Roll," "Jitterbop Baby," "That's It, That's All," "B-I-Bickey-B-Bo-Bo-Go," "Reckless Rebel" (demo), "I'm Gone," "Catfight," "21 Days"

Videos: "Other Side of Midnight"   "Victim of Kool"   "That's It, That's All"   "I'm Gone"
