The collection includes covers of Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress, I Saw Her Standing There, Gimmie Gimmie Good Lovin', Sunshine Superman, a few originals and more.
If ya got a hankering for music with some teeth to it, look no further than Born in the Hammer, the debut album from Hamilton's Rocket and the Renegades. These are some nasty, punky, rockabilly rhythms right here. It'll hook you in immediately.
Rocket (aka Robin Magder-Pierce) has a voice that makes its presence known right from the start. There's emotion and power that'll hit ya hard! The impressive lyrical storytelling will keep you coming back for repeated listens.
Rock 'N' Roll has lost another of its main architects. The legendary Fats Dominopassed away on Tuesday, October 24, 2017. Our condolences to his family, friends and fans.
His great sax-man,Lee Allan was my greatest influence in starting to play the sax in 1957. There will never be another like Fats Domino. His music will live forever. R.I.P. Fats
Fats Domino was the soul of Rock and Roll. The Heartbeat of New Orleans. I loved his music. The Shakers performed I'm Ready. And one of the greatest performers I ever saw. Fats Domino RIP. Irreplaceable
Fats Domino was a pioneer of that distinctive New Orleans R&B sound, and he was one of the classic R&B musicians to contribute to the birth of 1950s rock 'n' roll. I think that all piano players in the blues or jazz genres have been influenced by him, whether they know it or not, through those that Fats, in turn, influenced. That's a legacy for us all to be grateful for. RIP Fats. Another great one gone.
Incredibly sad with the passing of the greats. He was one of them. How boring life may have been without his music. I hate to think of the butterfly effect if Blueberry Hill or Ain't That a Shame were never recorded by him.
We recently found out that former Rick and the Krickets bassist Billy Berman passed away August 9, 2015. Our condolences to his family, friends and fans.
A word from Lou, our Blogger:
"Going to a Krickets show always meant sharing laughs with Billy and hearing his mastery of the bass. I will miss him dearly."
Rick Prinsthal (leader of the Krickets) had this to say on Facebook:
"Billy and I met 25 years ago. He was always the kind of character I liked being around - lot's of charisma and plenty of laughs. He was also a pretty sharp dresser in those days!. Billy and I worked in a band for about 8 years..recorded a CD, did a lot of driving from one town to the next, and shared a lot of laughs!. I know that Billy is in a good place now, where he is free from his suffering. In fact, he's probably cracking a few good dirty jokes to the angels right now! RIP BILL"
