This is their second album and I have to say that I love The Black Crabs. Who wouldn't? They have one talented singer/songwriter/guitar player that mixes rockabilly, blues, surf, twang, in one word a true rock'n'roll player, an excellent rhythm section with a drummer who swings the rock and rocks the jazz, and one of the coolest and gifted bass player. Like their previous album it mixes various influences, the modern with the old, the whole thing being very well produced and recorded. Along with rockabilly (Black Cat Boogie), you'll find an excellent rocker with a 60's vibes and a farfisa organ (Romeo's Teacher), a stroll ("Three Cool Cats", that has a bit of a "spy-movie" sound on the guitar), an uptempo jazzy/pop number (Thirteen Times), a kinda Les Paul instumental (Caravan), a jazzabilly duet between Kirsten and Johnny (Messin' Around with slap bass on the fore and rich drums breaks) and plenty of rock'n'roll in between (including Gene Vincent's Say Mama, Going Home). A superb album and a perfect demonstration for anyone who still believes that rockabilly and rock'n'rol means "retro".
