Texabilly Rockets

Alive and Kickin'

(PART Records)



Whoever conceived of pairing these veteran Portuguese, old-class boppers with astute producer Boz Boorer must've hot-wired a genius contraption. Since 1993, the Texabilly Rockets (initially bannered as "Texabilly Rockers") have worked up slapback song stylings that ladle lovingly from vintage Billy, Blues verities, and hillbilly hijinx. None of which would cruise so cooly, were the men at issue not all types of able to make racket that's been giving legions the Sock, since Ike put up feet on the Oval Office desk. 

Recommended: "Time is Running," "Sweet Baby Blues," "I Got Lost," "Honky Tonk Feeling," "A Tale of Pain," "Whorehouse Blues"
