Style: Modern Rockabilly
Releasenb.: 5619
The Wailin' Elroys from Athens, Ohio, U S A are a three men
band with rhythm guitar, upright bass and a solo guitar and
their kind of music is between classic Country Music and primitive
1950s styled Rockabilly and Rock'n'Roll Music. The voice of
Bram Riddleberger comes very close to Wayne Hancock's voice
and especially by the slower, more moody tracks like Goodnight
To No One, Broke Down Pick-up Truck Blues or Cheap Motel, you
might think that Hank Williams is talkin' to you! 10 of the
12 tracks are written by Bram Riddleberger and the other two
titles are cover versions. I mean nearly every Rockabilly band
tries to cover Eddie Cochran's Twenty Flight Rock and most of
the versions which are going ´round our world simply suck
and may be useful for our grandmothers' Rock'n'Roll Revival
parties, but their version is something special and goes right
into your knees and will definitely touch you somehow - I mean
they really made their own interpretation of this Golden Oldie
song and that's the thang !! Their second cover is the Ramones
song Havanna Affair with a mean and evil guitar, a real pumpin'
bass and a tremendous powerful also mean and evil voice!! If
these three cats should play your town sometime you better go
and get a ticket for the show, because they play real live Hillbilly-
and Rockabilly music like it should be played. It comes from
their heart and that's what you'll feel if you listen to the
first beats of this silverplate!! For me one of the best if
not the best today's releases!!
