Product Review

2009 collection of wild irreverent Rockabilly, demented Rock 'n' Roll, wanton Blues and the occasional Elvis wannabe. The tracks on this compilation are vintage performances that were discovered by Lux and Ivy of The Cramps and spun on their various radio shows for WFMU or on Lux's Purple Knif Show. Many of the tracks here were also covered by The Cramps in their live sets or acted as inspiration for the band's own self-penned tunes. Including strange guitar led instrumentals, rootsy Rock 'n' Roll and a tip of the hat to Hicksville rationale. 26 tracks.
