Got Them Hillbilly Blues - CD Album
CD was £9.99
Now only
£7.99!
Various Artists - Got Them Hillbilly Blues
While it is not often documented, it stands to reason that of all the many black artists who were influenced by country music radio in their childhood, a percentage would grow into maturity with a real feeling for hillbilly music and incorporate the style it into their own musical heritage, just as the white rockabillies introduced an urban blues element into their country music.
This album has been compiled to showcase this inverted spin on the conception of rockabilly - got them Hill Billy Blues?



The Bonneville Barons - Cures What Ails You - CD Album
CD only £9.99
The Bonneville Barons - Cures What Ails You
Another 13 wonderful songs from the UK hot string duo - The Bonneville Barons. All tracks are once again from the pen of Chris Wilkinson and this their 3rd album is their best to date - and the previous 2 were fantastic! This album sees them wheel in a few special guests which adds a nice extra texture now and again.

The Bonneville Barons have come a long way in the last few years and can now be seen on the bill at most of the good festivals and big events, where they continue to wow audiences.



Brioles - Love, Rhythm & Hate - CD Album
CD was £9.99
Now only
£7.99!
Brioles - Love Rhythm & Hate
Spanish band BRIOLES was formed in 1986 (their first live gig took place on the 8th of August 1987) and they haven’t stopped playing ever since. A few drummer changes, several collaborations in different groups and projects (The Rockin’ Roosters, Bop Pills, Ella & the Roosters, Nu-Niles, The Swindlers...) haven’t made the Nunes brothers (Jorge and Daniel) loose their interest in their main project. BRIOLES’ music is mainly based on 50’s R&R but they’ve added more exciting elements to this great new album....



Fireball Steven - Rockabilly Done Right - CD Album
Special Price!

Fireball Steven - Rockabilly Done Right
Raw, unpolished and authentic roots rockabilly. Primal rock experts Ace Brown and The Helldivers do a splendid job adding to the authentic feel of this album.

Three Blue Teardrops - Rustbelt Trio - CD Album
Special Price!
CD only £6.99
Three Blue Teardrops - Rustbelt Trio
From the USA...here you have a real wild rocking and stomping modern rockabilly album made up of 13 songs (all band’s originals, half written by guitarist Dave Sisson and the other half by upright bassist Rick Uppling). One of their best quality is to be able to mix genres, adding traditional vocals harmonies on heavy rockers, or enhance what could be a classic hot rod song (Lincoln 49) with a fine and swinging drum beat.

Featured New CD Arrivals...
Hot Lips Page - Roll Roll Roll! - CD Album
CD only £9.99
Hot Lips Page - Roll Roll Roll!
Beginning his promising rise to national fame in the late 1930s as a rival to that other trumpet-playing, gravel-voiced entertainer, Louis Armstrong, Hot Lips Pagechanged tack, jumping with both feet in the direction of the burgeoning R&B sound in the mid 1940s.
It was a move that was sure to offend all the serious jazz music fans, but it would endear him to all the low-brow jump-blues lovers – both then and now!
This CD celebrates those R&B years of the man who could have been King.



The Fried Okra Band - Black Cherry -  CD Album
CD only £9.99
The Fried Okra Band - Black Cherry
Two exciting new blues additions from this hot Danish band!
Black cherry – the black music on which The Fried Okra Band have been fed since their very first encounter with the blues. The French say "cheri" for their loved ones - well this record hopefully goes to say it must be this love that is the inspiration for The Fried Okra Band.....
This is the first record featuring The Fried Okra Bands own songs. It’s a step away from the Mississippi Hill Country blues on the record This is your chance, France baby! ....
It is not as close to the tradition as the first record. Still the songs clearly bear witness to the bands blues inspiration and the hypnotic moods of the music of the Hill Country. The Mississippi is still very must present in the music as it is in the lyrics of Donuts and Devils. The tale of a young mans disappointing encounter with a mysterious man at The Crossroads outside Clarksdale in the Mississippi Delta...



The Fried Okra Band - This Is Your Chance, France Baby! - CD Album
CD only £9.99
The Fried Okra Band - This Is Your Chance, France Baby!
Well, Well, Well... The blues of North Mississippi are surely the foundation of This is Your Chance, France Baby but the members of The Fried Okra Band are just as sure Copenhagen-born and raised. Yet the first album from the Danish band consists of twelve tracks which salutes the Blues style that has sprung from the Hill Country in North Mississippi.
The album presents very personal interpretations of songs by such artist as R.L. Burnside and Robert Belfour among others. The band follows the line of one- or two chord songs played raw and with as much energy as possible. On top of that producer Jarno Varsted hasn´t been afraid of adding a sampling, odd organs or just a weird noise here and there. And that's the point! The Fried Okra Band admires and respect the american artists but believes it is in their spirit to add a personal touch. The sound of the entire record is therefore raw and electric recorded partly live and partly in the studio.



The Bad Detectives - Trash Culture -  CD Album
CD only £9.99
The Bad Detectives - Trash Culture
Amazing 3rd album from The Bad Detectives. 16 self penned catchy, quirky observations on life and of true tales, stranger than fiction. These guys are a great mix of Rockabilly/R&B and Garage with a sprinkle of Americana. A weird concoction that really works!

Featured New CD Arrivals...
The Aces - One One Rides For Free - CD Album
CD only £9.99
The Aces - No One Rides For Free
Formed in 2000, The Aces have attitude and a different idea of how to playBlues. They reduce the Blues to pounding riffs and a distorted wall of sound topped by wailing harp. They were among the first to absorb and recast the drone riff-based Hill Country Blues style, and The Aces do that their own way.
They write their own songs (they do very few covers). They have their own slicked back greased hair in a wind tunnel look attached to a permanent sneer and a pushy stage presence. Those that might think of punk trance blues as something endlessly repeating a melodic line are in for a rhythmic pounding when the Aces get on stage.



Rockin' Bonnie & The Rot Gut Shots - Cocktail Jubilee -  CD Album
CD only £9.99
Rockin' Bonnie & The Rot Gut Shots - Cocktail Jubilee
Back in ’53 when Charline Arthur sang ‘I Heard About You’, she could never have imagined that some half a century later, and halfway around the world, a feisty young Italian singer, Sabrina, aka. Rockin’ Bonnie, would be singing the same words and echoing the same sassy energy...!
This, her debut album. has all the ingredients to make one strong cocktail of musical styles.
Start with the barrelling piano pumping Honky Tonk of ‘I Wanna Make Love’, pour in a measure of classic Country Rockabilly with, ‘What Am I Worth’ and then add a dash of solid self penned Rock’n’Roll with ‘Burnin’.
Mix in a classic duet, ‘Time’s A Wastin’, with a slice of steel guitar... shake well and serve in a cool glass... and if they all turn out like this, keep ‘em coming!!!



Lucky Marcell & The Rockin' Three - Speed King - CD Album
CD only £9.99
Lucky Marcell & The Rockin' Three - Speed King
The secret is out! And it's spreading like wild fire!
It..s certainly not exaggerated to say that the first release of Lucky Marcell & the Ramblin.. Three is a rockabilly A-bomb and it..s now out on the El Toro Records!
Lucky Marcell holds all the cards! One of the best singers at the moment, with pure 50..s style and roar energy that will blow your mind no matter if it..s a wild rocker or a slow pace.
After 12 years of living in London, Lucky Marcell came back to Belgrade, Sebia, with only one thing on his mind- to put up together an authentic rockabilly band that will make a difference! And he succeeded- Big Time! No wonder he was immediately asked to perform at the biggest festivals on the scene.



Sonny Burgess & The Legendary Pacers - Gijon Stomp! -  CD Album
CD only £9.99
Sonny Burgess & The Legendary Pacers - Gijon Stomp!
Brand new recordings from one of the wildest rockers to record for the legendary Sun label in Memphis. He and his band the Pacers came out of Newport, Arkansas, with a hard-rocking style that, unlike that of most rockabillies, owed little to nothing in the way of a stylistic debt to country music.

The History Of Rhythm & Blues 1942-52
"It’s rare to come across a record that is so perfect, and so perfectly insane, that it encapsulates everything you need to know about music fandom in one package, but such is this. The description ‘labour of love doesn’t begin to do justice to the effort involved in ferreting out such a finely chosen set of tracks and presenting them so ideally.
It’s a four disc set with an erudite and entertaining accompanying booklet packaged in a foldout paperback-sized case (that includes recording personnel, original catalogue numbers, pictures and the like), and ninety seven (!) tracks, where familiar names such as Cab Calloway and Louis Armstrong sit alongside the more likes of the delightfully named Bumble Bee Slim.
Even the most fanatical r&b fan will find something, probably many things, both new and enjoyable here - and everyone else can simply wallow in some of the greatest music ever recorded. Never mind what appears in the remainder of 2008, this is the reissue of the year by a country mile. Buy it and help Volume 2 along".

The History of Rhythm & Blues series of CDs is a cross-label project that attempts to chronicle the rise of R&B from a historical perspective. Its aim is to demonstrate the breadth of new forms which arose from the fusion of the various styles and to showcase the most influential records while highlighting many of the more obscure discs, whose importance to the story is less well-known.
"There’s so little on this box set that I wouldn’t be overjoyed to play you… an absolutely essential purchase… as good as any (other sets) and probably better than all…indispensable music… thoroughly, thoroughly recommended"
Mark Lamarr BBC Radio Two
"Fellow addicts will already have many of the tracks, but purchasing them again to have them put in the context of blues development should be a joy rather than a hardship.…compiled with forensic knowledge and obvious loving respect ...As a whole package, it is irresistible and should be an essential on the shopping list of all self respecting r’n’b junkies"

Lovin' Time Blues - Great Jump Blues And R&B Duets - CD Album

CD only £9.99
Various Artists - Lovin' Time Blues - Great Jump Blues And R&B Duets
The boy/girl r&b duet reached its commercial zenith in the mid to late 1950s when acts such as Gene & Eunice, Shirley & Lee and Billy & Lillie enjoyed national chart hits, but the way had been paved by the earlier success of the likes of Esther & Mel with Johnny Otis' band and Little Willie & Little Lora. This CD explores those pioneering recordings which, with little likelihood of a national crossover hit, would often deal with the same subjects as their rock 'n' roll counterparts but in a much more gritty and honest way.


Gravy Train - CD Album

CD only £9.99
Various Artists - Real Cool Cats - Texas Rockabilly 1955
When Elvis Presley mixed black blues and R&B with white country in the mid-'50s, essentially bringing a new genre called rock & roll to the attention of the whole world in what was the pop equivalent of the Big Bang, few realized how long this little musical chemistry experiment had been fermenting. Presley had the looks, skill and charisma to make the kinetic hybrid of rock & roll reverberate in the public consciousness, but countless artists had been working this same territory since at least a decade earlier, as this extremely interesting collection makes clear.

“Joel Paterson kinda defines who the ideal session guy should be: selfless, musical (i.e., not a technique monger) and born with impeccably good taste. His sympathetic hollowbody makes the rock, jazz, country, rockabilly or swing he's backing come alive.” – Timeout Chicago

The Delgado Brothers - Learn To Fly NEW!
The Delgado Brothers have been considered LA's "Best Kept Secret", but they are over that. When major artists such as John Mayall have covered your songs, and your latin flavored music has been placed in movie soundtracks, they're a secret no more.
Los Angeles- Driven by fierce independence, unified by family, and fortified by the brotherhood of music, the Delgado Brothers deliver the musical goods; topical anthem worthy songs complemented by call to action lyrics, soul stirring blues rock guitar solos and Latin-flavored percussion.
For the last 30 years the Delgado Brothers have been music makers, collaborators and ordinary citizens; raising children, grieving the loss of parents, marrying & divorcing. All of this life experience may explain the Brothers flare for illuminating many of the every-mans joys, sorrows,triumphs and losses and why their music has long been embraced both locally and globally by a wide spectrum of people undivided by culture, age or socioeconomic status.
Their latest, self released 4th CD, Learn to Fly, is testament to the bands long evolution and scope of musical diversity. Raising a variety of real world concerns from the topical, ‘I Wanna Know (what the fighting's about)’, to the meaningful and brilliantly nuanced, ‘Man without Plan’.

Bullfrog Brown - 12 Live Warthogs - CD

CD only £6.99
Bullfrog Brown - Twelve Live Warthogs
Full Length Album
An "official bootleg" compiled from two concerts in Tartu, Estonia, "Twelve Live Warthogs" is a decidedly lo-fi, warts-and-all live blues document that catches Bullfrog Brown working their home turf, completely unaware of being recorded. It's the first time the band's unadorned live sound has been captured on CD, producing what might conceivably be their most alternative release to date.
"Contains what is certainly to be considered their best work to date." - John Vermilyea, Blues Underground Network '

Mini-Album
Let's take a trip down memory lane and listen to the music of the 20's and 30's ! That's what you get with this mini album, presenting popular songs of that era in an authentic style true to the times.
The heart of our band is the accordion. Although the honky-tonk piano is certainly the most dominant key instrument used in jazz, the accordion was widely used in popular “Jazz” music, particularly in Europe in the 20’s and 30’s. As the accordion is rarely used in Jazz music today, it gives the band a special, rather distinctive touch.

Miss Mary Ann, The Ragtime Wranglers & The Ranch Girls - Selections 1993 - 2008 - CD

Miss Mary Ann, The Ragtime Wranglers & The Ranch Girls - Selections 1993 - 2008 - CD
CD only £11.99
Miss Mary Ann, The Ragtime Wranglers & The Ranch Girls - Selections 1993-2008 - 15 Years On The Road NEW!
A 15 years retrospective from rockabilly singer Miss Mary Ann with herRagtime Wranglers and also some tracks as the Ranch Girls duo. 20+ tracks, all unreleased, very rare, out of print, and/or remastered. Top notch Dutch rockabilly. Comes in a DVD-size digipack with beautiful 50's rock'n'roll poster-like artwork!
This CD holds 20 tracks with a variety of styles: early country with harmony vocals of the Ranch Girls, rockabilly sung by the charming Miss Mary Ann and authentic instrumentals from the Ragtime Wranglers. After 18 releases and hundreds of concerts they decided it's time for a compilation album.
The band spent a lot of time checking out studio-tapes and radio recordings with this amazing result. They carefully put together unexpected unreleased tracks and surprising remixes with few of their recordings from recent albums. This all has been recorded over the years 1993 - 2008 at different places but nevertheless blends together amazingly well, because every session was in the hands of the same 3 people: Miss Mary Ann (vocals), Joe Sixpack (guitar) and Sietse Heslinga (drums).
Most tracks were recorded live, so you can share the great band atmosphere captured on tape. The cover is a beautifully designed DVD-size cardboard box, with full information on session details and earlier releases
on Dutch, Japanese, Finnish and American labels.
A worthy, classy document on the band's first 15 years.
