Comment:


This is the magical home of the upright bass, tacky suits, and all types of persons with a penchant for inappropriate over usage of the apostrophe. Surf Rock, Psychobilly and Rockabilly. These artists are not as mainstream as, say, The Stray Cats, Toy Dolls, Reverand Horton Heat or The Cramps, but they're still well worth a listen.
Track Notes:
01: Is actually two separate tracks by this Aussie band that I combined for the purpose of having an instrumental surf rock intro, but I couldn't pick between them so, you know what they say, "Can't beat 'em ... join 'em."
08: Is actually a very interesting punk/rockabilly cover of the song by the same title that's been around for ... decades, but was made popular by today's standards by appearing in the motion picture O' Brother Where Are Thou? It was attributed to the fictitious band The Soggy Bottom Boys, that was lead by Dan Tyminski who's mostly known for his work with Alison Krauss.
12: Any song that starts with a revving car engine = gold.
21: This is one of only 2 chicks with lead vox on this whole mix. Track 5 being the other of course. And any song featuring a comic book sidekick is more than alright by me.
09, 11, 14, 15 ,16, and 22 are all associated with a coolness so great that it requires the complete and utter ignoration of the letter 'g'. (and yes, in my world, ignoration is a word.)

Did a psychobilly mix last year and other than an influential Stray Cats tune, didn't duplicate a single artist here. Thanks for the DL, love the energy of this stuff.
