Presents Rockabilly Opera
Rollin' & Tumblin' Records
The long-awaited first release from Lexington's first family of rockabilly does not disappoint. The songs are all here, the production's solid and the packaging is a hoot.
Singer/songwriter Mike Tevis hiccups his way through 13 tracks of rockabilly heaven, while fret-man Bob Burris slinks his way up and down the neck like a coked-up Scotty Moore. Frank Turner slaps his hunk o' wood down on the bottom end, while Jon McGee keeps a lid on it all behind the skins.
Highlights include the uptempo Sweet Little Dee and Nocturnal Turnaround as well as Traindriver and the super-cool title cut.
No duds here, just a straight shot of 100 proof rockabilly.
