Free Music Review: Runs The Quarter Mile In Four Seconds Flat
Hit: 5 Stars

The first three cuts on the album are no-brainers for hit singles. (We Only Got) Sixty Years (On the Planet) ends any question as to whether Brian and the band can guitar rock anymore. This song is air guitar nirvana with Brian belting out throaty vocals while Bernie Dresel beats holes in his drum set and Johnny "Spaz" Hatton makes the bass THUMP! Don't Trust A Woman (In A Black Cadillac) keeps things rumbling along more in a rich rock vein rather than rockabilly. Next comes the surprise of the three in When The Bells Don't Chime that defies typical classification. Brian plays a stomping banjo (yes, banjo!) along with great rockabilly riffs and a fast beat sure to get everyone in a dance mode BSO-style! It's part country, part rock, part Americana, part rockabilly, but all fun and good. Next comes a great slow 1950s ballad in That Someone Just Ain't You and an instrumental called Rat Pack Boogie. The pace gets back into overdrive with Ring, Ring, Ring in modern 1950s rockabilly stomp. Then comes Drink Whiskey and Shut Up - a funny tale from a bartender tired of trendy people in his bar. The Stray Cats live in 2003 with Smokin' 'N Burnin' rockabillying about hotrods and hot girls! A great remake of Wild Wind follows and then another surprisingly catchy ballad in St. Jude (Pray For Us). For the Setzer doo-wop fan, you will be in doo-wop heaven with To Be Loved. The final track is the Banjo Mix of When The Bells Don't Chime.

All things said, this is a GREAT album worthy of many plays and the 'Keep' section of your CD collection.
