The Bullets

Go Crazy! Get Wild!

(Western Star Recording Co)



Having mastered the slicked-back genre in which they specialize, Western Star's wildmen are possessed of natural feeling for it; so greatly, that their nods to Land of Dixie super-pickers Burlison and Moore are organic complements to their own flair, not sterile mimicry. 

Jitter boppers schooled in Rockabilly's embryonic period will recognize various twangs, patterns, and six-stringed orations. But also awaiting appreciation in grooves is a treasure most precious: that being, the free-for-allism that explodes in the heart, the head, and the feet, whenever chords of agitation take wing. 

("With This Song," the chaser to above het-up insigation, cools heels to Countrified and steel-guitared serenity. "There's a whole, wild world a-waitin,' startin' tonight" pledges a swain to his hourglassy she.)

Recommended: "The Shaker," "Back Off Baby," "Go Crazy! Go Wild!," "The Girl's on Fire," "Chicago Blue," "Breakin' All the Rules," "With This Song"
