Reception
Grounded by solid musicianship across the board with the fiddle and guitar emphasising the swinging aspects of the music... the music... is great fun and expertly played. - Americana UK
an evocative slice of rockabilly yarn-spinning that is laden with electrifying Jerry Lee Lewis-esque keys and a unique drawl that would make Carl Perkins quake in his boots - Tenement TV
