Long Tall Texans "In Without Knocking" 1991

...The Long Tall Texans continued to tour the world during the 1990s though their recorded output slowed down from those halcyon days of the mid to late 80s. In fact ‘Aces And Eights’ was the last album for a decade so when ‘Adventure’ was unleashed in 2005 it took several people by surprise. Song-writing was largely shared by original Texan and wordsmith Boggles and newly enlisted guitarist Garry Castleman. As you would expect with the Texans and after such a period of ‘maturing’ the album, minus the sax, Mumford jumping ship back at the end of the 1990s, had a different feel from anything before. But once again it was embraced, not least with Mike Davies spinning the title track on the hugely influential Radio 1 Punk Show...
...From the beginning of the new millennium a big upsurge in interest in psychobilly and related music had emanated from the USA largely due to Hellcat Records’ decision to expose the kids to Nekromantix and Tiger Army. It didn’t take long for those kids to do some digging, aided greatly by the new-fangled Internet, and discover the music’s roots and more importantly discover the Long Tall Texans. Inevitably the trio were soon being romanced by promoters across the pond and were gracing stages in the USA before you could say get up and go, and so it has continued.
So here we are in 2013 it’s only taken them eight years this time, here’s the brand new album. Once again largely penned by Garry Castleman though his band duties have been long relieved by guitar-twanger extraordinaire ‘Brother’ Matt live and on record. Of course it’s Mark Carew on vocals and bass and Theo still cracking the drum kit, burgers eh?...to be continued... - http://www.longtalltexans.co.uk/
