Blue Lake Records Shop>Blue Lake Records>King Louie Combo - Hot Rod Rumble

Consisting of experienced musicians, likely from the best you can find in this style in Switzerland, you would have expected an excellent debut album from the King Louie Combo. It's much more, these recordings are just fantastic ! It sure is a new reference...

In a well mixed choice of covers and own compositions, we find original and powerfull rockabilly ("Let's Go", "Honey Bee", etc...), a demented instrumental ("Hot Rod Rumble"), more jazzy sides where all the musical subtlety of the band comes alive ("Cattin' Around", "Two Of A Kind", etc...), with a visit to Johnny Horton ("One Woman Man") and on the other side to Rosco Gordon ("T-Model Boogie").
