Mickey Keller & the Spitfires

Million Dollar Shack EP

(Tessy Records)

This four-rollick Hillbilly jackrabbit wax circulates at 45 rpm, and keepin' up is gladsome recreation. Elbows-flying buck-dancers can be forgiven for thinking these poultry-pluckers are from back up in the Ozarks, but truth to tell, the drummerless three hang hats in Hannover. Cover art by Marcel Bontempi.

Recommended: "Gone Baby Gone," "My Suzy Jane," "Sneaky Pete," "I'm Ready"

Videos: "Gone Baby Gone" (live 2023) "My Suzy Jane" (live 2022) "I'm Ready" (features both trio footage and scenes from b/w teens B-film.)
