30-track collection of frenzied rockabilly and rock n roll- fuelled odes to exotic cars and eccentric road travellers.
Featuring a host of underground ne-erdowells, novelty 45 jugglers, 50s pop renegades and mouthy motorists.
Including hot rod and drag strip bravado, alongside motorcycle and big rig madness.
Not a hit record in sight!
Filled with white line fever fandangoes and wild echoey sounds with namechecks for Cadillacs, Fords and Volvo’s, it’s a riot of fender bending extremes where Bobby Troup’s Route 66 is a met at a fork in the road and Nervous Norvus promises to never, ever, ever speed again…
Pass The Crimson to me Jimson!
With notes by MOJO’s Dave Henderson.
