The Nite Howlers

Rockin' & Reelin', Pts 1 and 2 7" vinyl

(Sleazy Records)

As these singles hardly represent their first rodeo, the Nite Howlers' hard-grained know-how strides and struts. No unfamiliar postures are present here, which is indeed a gladsome note. Instead, four jumpers whose hearts are rightly placed put 110% into Rockabilly jaunts that aren't one solitary lick ashamed of their Country heritage -- a characteristic that waves howdy hi from each bent-string barn stomp.
