TURNTABLE MATINEE - BIG SANDY & HIS FLY-RITE BOYS
The new disc from Big Sandy & His Fly-Rite Boys is a gem of musical retrospection, featuring 14 original tunes with a pronounced emphasis on vintage rockabilly. Opener “The Power of the 45″ sets the mood for some fine hillbilly romance both hopeful (”Ruby Jane,” “I Know I’ve Loved You Before”) and forlorn (”Haunted Heels”). In addition to a large dose of rockabilly, cue up the country swing number “(Yes) I Feel Sorry for You” and the campy Latin vibe of “Spanish Dagger.” Also make note of the outstanding classic country tune “Lonesome Dollar.” “Turntable Matinee” brings Big Sandy’s album output to an even dozen. His preoccupation with classic roots music has never paid bigger dividends than it does here. Source: Billboard
