Christophe Deschamps
Go Cats Go Rockabilly
(Montmorency Records)

To apply the poet's phrasing to Rockabilly, it's music that rolls up its sleeves, spits on its hands, and goes to work - at least, when articulated by someone sincerely possessed by its blaze. (Fracture can't be faked.) Christophe has recorded in sundry stylings, including jazzy urbanity, Soul, and '80s-fashion club inducements. (The man also played a youthful Elvis, in 2010's Adeus, Algum Dia.) He's now turned his hand to the sound that blew up in America's 1950s South and quickly rent the globe.
Were one to bet that few, if any, could hear this hep boldness without cutting to shreds the nearest rug - and find yahoos of more greenbacks than grey matter who'd take that wager - they'd head home with wallet a-bulge.
