The Sidewinders "Come and Get It" 2003

Just Awesome Guitar work. The CD is a really entertaining blend of Rockabilly, Surf, and Blues. Every track makes a statement. I saw the band live at the Chicago Blues Fest and picked up the CD right after the show. - author: BZ
Currently called The West Side Winders, the band formerly known as The Sidewinders began in early spring of 2001. Chicago based musician Dan Peters took influences ranging from Elvis & Johnny Cash to Brian Setzer & Stevie Ray Vaughan and worked towards putting together a group that would be both challenging and entertaining.
After working through several stylistic and personnel changes, the band settled into the perfect niche as a "surfabilly" power trio.
Their music mixes rockabilly, surf, jump-blues, honky-tonk, jazz and western swing into a high-octane blend that rocks a little harder than your typical roots oriented group.
The three members are all journeyman musicians who have recorded; performed and toured the world with many Chicago based acts.

If I am right this is the Greek band The Sidewinders, nothing to do with Rich hopkins, https://www.discogs.com/release/5217576-The-West-Side-Winders-Come-And-Get-It

Nevertheless, it's a great album!

Actually it looks like this was a Chicago band and the record was later released on another label for a European audience? Seeing the name change to "West Side Winders" suggests maybe this band had legal torubles with the Sidewinders name like Sand Rubies did. Probably a good idea to avoid the name "Sidewinders" if you are going to start a band.
