Little Neal & The Blue Flames
Style: Modern Rockabilly
Releasenb.:5627
The band Little Neal & The Blue Flames is an authentic rock'n'roll/rockabilly
quartet from Berlin, Germany: Little Neal on vocals & lead
guitar, Maurice (ex-bassist for Ike & The Capers) on rhythm
guitar, Alexander on drums & Sascha on upright bass. After
some recordings on the german samplers "Rough Rockin'"
volume 1 & 2, and also a 4 tracks EP on Favourite Records,
here is their long, long awaited first album. It's been recorded
at the excellent Lightning Recording Service in Berlin, &
edited by the german company that owns this studio, Rhythm Bomb
Records. The sound is vintage and really good (as usual from
this studio). Fifteen tracks on this CD: Six late 50's rock'n'roll
covers and nine self penned tracks. The covers are excellent,
especially Marlon Grisham’s "Ain’t That A Dilly",
Larry Donn’s "Honey Bun" (with piano), Jerry
Ross's "Everybody's Tryin To Kiss My Baby" and Bob
Luman’s "All Night Long". The original songs
are even better: rockin' tracks ("Skip Jack Rock",
"Cat Shack", "Why You Need A Proof"), boppin'
ones ("Cooly Fooly Boy", "How Can She Be Bad",
"Till The Cows Come Home") and an awesome strollin'
blues ("Ten Times Better"). This four hepcats are
superb musicians, the drum(!!!)/bass/rhythm guitar section maintains
a good rockin' beat throughout the record, & Neal on lead
guitar shows that breaks can be real wild with a clean sound
(His vocal is also really good). On four tracks, the participation
of a backing vocal band (the Mellow Men) contribute to the rock'n'roll
sound of this album.
