Holly Golightly "Up Against The Empire" 1998
On this laid-back live outing, Holly Golightly sounds a little like a caffeinated Kendra Smith (Opal, Rainy Day). She eschews psych-rock in favor of folk, blues, and low-key R&B, but her insouciant delivery evokes a similar sort of casual, romantic world weariness -- not unlike the iconic character so enchantingly portrayed by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's…
...The performances are loose and appealing, with spare instrumental backing spiked by frequent blasts of harmonica. The country-tinged original "If I Should Ever Leave" features the welcome addition of slide guitar and violin. There are plenty of whoops and hollers during the more rocking numbers -- from the audience or from the band; it's hard to tell -- but they rarely overwhelm or distract from the music. Up the Empire may not be the best place to start with Ms. Golightly's oeuvre, but it isn't a bad place to end up -- especially if you'd like to re-create the experience of an intimate, neon-lit juke joint where all the kids meet to tap their toes, snap their fingers, and clap their hands to the slinky beat. - AllMusic Review by Kathleen C. Fennessy
trax:
01 Won't go out 02 I can't stand it 03 Come the day 04 You ain't no big thing 05 If I should ever leave 06 The Ride 07 Troubles on my mind 08 An eye for an empty heart 09 Believe me 10 Look for me baby 11 It's all over now 12 Mellow down easy 13 unknown track

Husky & The Sandmen "Ridin' The Wild Surf" 2000
Strangely enough, I have found that instrumental surf music that is most varied and different seems to come from the unlikeliest places…
…Scandinavia seems to be one of those places, and I've loved Laika & The Cosmonauts for years, and have recently also discovered The Surfites. But despite the fact that they've been around for several years, I've just now discovered Husky & the Sandmen. This isn't formulaic stuff by any means. They kind of stick to the basics while still wandering into new territories with the melodies. Full of energy and with enough originality to be appealingly different, this album puts a smile on my face. "Diamond Eye" and "Flight to Venus" are my favorites, but there's not a clunker on the CD. Well worth seeking out. - TheatreX

"Do The 45!" Vol. 51 (2017)
Super fun collection of soul, blues, R&B, instro, and rock 'n' roll from the original 45's. (From my record collection.)
It's just me having fun with my 45's and whatever random record I pull out of the boxes. I will try to give both sides of the 45 unless one side is unbearable. I hope you enjoy. (Gyro1966)
Starting with volume 28, I went back to the same setup that i used for the Garage Greats 45's series. I used the NAD preamp. Not sure if there is a sonic difference, but these 45's sure sounded great blasting out of two huge power amps into two quality sets of speakers on my end.

Husky & The Sandmen "Arabian Nights" 1996 + "Moonwaves" 1996 - 7"/45rpm
"A fine first album from a band whose debut single peaked my interest a year ago. The music is superb, and the playing is high caliber." - Phil Dirt - Reverb Central
Fourteen great tunes by this great Finnish instrumental combo. They mix it up with a classic reverb sound driving raging surf stompers and melodic palm swayers. If you are a fan of the traditional sounds of surf music you will definitely want this disc.

The Insomniacs "Get Something Going!" 2000
New Jerseys' premier mod infused power trio are back in the saddle with their long awaited follow up to 1997's "Out of It." Track listing includes "Egarag," "funkensteen," "And the Candle Burns," "Girl," plus more... - amazon
Don't let the fact they're on Estrus Records fool you: The Insomniacs are not just another bunch of down and dirty garage revivalists. This New Jersey three-piece has a healthy taste for British Invasion and power pop sounds that are tuneful without sounding wimpy, and while their music definitely harkens back to pop's past, the songs have a very contemporary snap, and they play with enough punch to make these songs truly rock without losing sight of the melodies. While Get Something Going! doesn't represent a radical departure from their previous work, it shows the Insomniacs keep getting better at what they do, and the best cuts ("Guilt Free," "Something for the Weekend," and "And the Candle Burns") show they have an aural personality that sets them apart from the fuzztone-and-paisley crowd while still honoring their obvious influences. Cool stuff that's ideal for your next teenage party (assuming your guests were teenagers between 1964 and 1967 -- or at least wish they were). - AllMusic Review by Mark Deming

The Jesters "The Best Of The Jesters" (NYC 1957-1961)
A fun 1950s New York City vocal group, the Jesters sang vibrant five-part street harmonies, making them a favorite of serious doo wop fans…
...Led by the alternating lead vocals of Lennie McKay and Adam Jackson, the group tracked several timeless singles, including 1957's "Please Let Me Love You," 1958's "Now That You're Gone" and "The Plea" (originally done by the Chantels), and 1960's wonderful "Sally Green" and "The Wind" (a remake of the Diablos' 1954 hit), all of which are collected in this 14-song set. Woefully underappreciated outside of the doo wop community, the Jesters have also been underserved in the digital era, and this is the only disc of their work currently available, which means it will have to do. Luckily, all you really need is here. (Steve Leggett, Allmusic)

"Kogar's Tassel Twirler 45's"
Here is another new compilation (wow, two in one month) I did for WFMU's Ichiban Rock n' Soul blog (you all go there on a daily basis, right?). It was called TASSEL TWIRLER TUESDAYS…
…Every week I posted a 45 scan and the corresponding track to go along with it. I missed a few weeks here and there due to all sorts of personal crap going on this year. But I think the finished product came out pretty good! Of course the birthplace for this sort of music was the amazing LAS VEGAS GRIND series of LP's. Most of the tracks on my comp with a few exceptions have not appeared on LVG. Head on over to Ichiban for a quick download! And a big thanks goes out to J.R. Williams (Ichiban cohort) for the tantalizing, titillating, tassel twirling cover!

Emmett Miller "The Minstrel Man From Georgia" (1928-1929 Okeh)
Emmett Miller--bandleader, minstrel, and yodeling crooner--is a true music legend. His version of "Lovesick Blues" was covered by Hank Williams, Merle Haggard recorded an entire Miller tribute album, Leon Redbone cites him as an influence, and author Nick Tosches has devoted an entire book to his fascination with the forgotten Georgian…
...What makes an obscure blackface musician who recorded just two dozen or so tunes in the late '20s so special? A lot. Miller existed at one of those magical crossroads in American history. His music is a bridge between the sounds of hot jazz and the as-yet-discovered "country music," and his crooning sound would be copied by Jimmie Rodgers and others, but never quite so compellingly. His music sounds like no one else's and, despite the minstrel shtick he refused to shed long after it became unfashionable, his songs are absolutely, perfectly timeless. Miller's backing band, the Georgia Crackers, was comprised of some of the best jazz musicians of his day (Eddie Lang, the Dorsey Brothers, Gene Krupa, Jack Teagarden), and they're in top form on these tunes, including "Lovesick Blues," "I Ain't Got Nobody," and "Anytime." Included are a few of Miller's recorded minstrel routines--archaic relics that can't compare to his tunes. Anyway you look at it, he led a controversial lifestyle, but his recordings are just too influential to forget. --Jason Verlinde, Allmusic

"Choo Choo Bop" (Buffalo Bop 55152)
The railroad is an endless source of musical inspiration in American vernacular music and this is Buffalo Bop's second compilation of rockabilly and rocking country songs on the subject (the first is Buffalo Bop 55012 "Hobo Bob") and is a winner…
...It opens with R&B singer Lloyd George's rocking down home blues with harmonica Come On Train and swiftly charges into rocking hillbilly in Clyde Arnold's Black Smoke & Blue Tears and continues on with Phil Bo's bluesy Mr. Train. There are a few big names - Johnny Cash with Hey, Porter and Blue Train, Bill Haley with a version of Chattanooga Choo Choo and Harold Jenkins (aka Conway Twitty) with his great early recording Long Black Train. Norman Sullivan does a great cover of Cash's Folsom Prison Blues, there are a couple of fine unissued Sun cuts from O.C. Holt and Warne Perdie and Larry Harvey and Johnny Six do uncanny imitations of Hank Snow on their cuts. Lots more fine stuff from Ken Patrick, Benny Martin, Eddie Bond, Tommy Faile, Ray Scott and others and the set ends with actual train sounds. Excellent sound and booklet has artist photos and label shots. (Frank Scott, Roots & Rhythm)

Lenny & The Thundertones "Lenny & The Thundertones" 1995
"Hi Ryp, I think this one might be of interest to you. It's by Lenny and the Thundertones. Classic early surf! I've scanned in all the covers and inserts which has some quite interesting liner notes. Cheers!" - Russ
This CD has the complete recordings (released & unreleased) of a real journeyman band. Starting out as The Thundertones, led by guitarist Lenny Drake from Detroit, they had a bunch of raw rockin' instrumentals for Dot & subsidiary Comma, with mostly originals including the great opener Hot Ice, along with standards Little Brown Jug / Alabamy Bound & movie soundtrack tune Moon Over Manakoora. After some internal shakeups, they became a studio band for Astra, continuing with the instrumentals, but also having teen pop vocals, often released under the vocalist's name, notably Bill Carnes, along with some 50s style stuff, includes a fine tribute to Chuck Berry called Big Berry (Boss Man Guitar), Finally there's a bunch of unreleased stuff from the later 60s where the band takes on a flower power approach.

"Hollywood Rock'n'Roll" - 12 RARE ROCKABILLY TRACKS! 1977 (ERA Records/Chiswick)
"TELL ALL THE CRAZY BOPPING CATS AND SEXY CHICKS TO KEEP ON BOPPIN & HOPPING & BIPPING & FLIPPING & SLIPPING & SHAKING & BREAKING & MOVING & GROOVING AND REEEEEEELING WITH THE FEEEEEEELING!!!!!!!! OWW, OWW, OWW, OWW, OWW, OW, OW!! OOOOOH, YEAH!!!!" - Ronny Weiser
Rare American rockabilly, served up in a classic British compilation from the late 70s – a package on the mostly-punk Chiswick label, and a good nod to the way that UK scene was paying some attention to the rootsier rock in the US! The work here is mostly from the Era Records label, and represents the rougher-edges of the rockabilly genre at its best – tunes that bump along on heavy bass, romping drums, and stiffly strummed guitar – often topped with vocals that are heavy on the twang, in a way that really works great with the sing-songy lyrics. Titles include "Blue Jeans" and "Would Ja" by Glen Glenn, "Don't Push" by Don Deal, "Hollywood Party" and "Ezactly" by Dick Bush, "Topsy Turvy" by Ben Joe Zeppa, "Great Shakin Fever" by Dorsey Burnette, and "She Will Come Back To Me" by Alis Lesley. (Comes in a great little cardboard LP-styled sleeve!) © 1996-2017, Dusty Groove, Inc.

The Best Of The Heartbeats including Shep & The Limelites 1956-1962 (Rhino)
Here's a one-stop shopper that really rings the bell. This 20-track set not only brings all of the cool tracks by the Heartbeats together (their biggie was "A Thousand Miles Away"); it also ropes in the later hits by Shep & the Limelites, who followed the storyline with subsequent efforts like "Daddy's Home" and "Our Anniversary." The song selection is primo, the sound is stellar, and the notes from doo wop mavens Phil Groia and Donn Fileti are exhaustive and informative. Vocal group compilations don't get much better than this. (Cub Koda, Allmusic)

Holly Golightly "Serial Girlfriend" 1998
Serial Girlfriend is the sixth solo album by former Headcoatee Holly Golightly. It features a prominent garage sound and is composed of twelve original songs and one cover song. - wiki
Recorded while still a member of Thee Headcoatees (she would leave the following year), Holly Golightly's sixth solo release is another winner from start to finish. If the production is a little rougher and more garagey than on subsequent efforts, her earthy charm, sardonic -- sometimes feisty -- attitude, and sure way with a catchy chorus are in full effect. As usual, there's a cool cover -- in this case a languid, reverb-drenched duet with Billy Childish on Ike Turner's "Your Love Is Mine" -- and a couple of angry numbers, "Come the Day" and opening track "I Can't Be Trusted" ("Why won't you see/I can't give you anything/But misery"). More unusually, Serial Girlfriend features an instrumental track, the rollicking "Grandstand," which allows Golightly to showcase her underrated prowess on the electric guitar, and the final track, "Now," comes close to a cappella in dropping (or at least minimizing) guitar, bass, and drums in favor of piano, chimes, and Golightly's distinctive voice. For anyone who's ever wondered what the early Beatles or Rolling Stones might have sounded like with a female front person, Serial Girlfriend -- in which drummer Bruce Brand channels Charlie Watts (circa "Get off of My Cloud") for "Down Down Down" -- is the highly enjoyable answer. - AllMusic Review by Kathleen C. Fennessy

The Insomniacs "Out Of It" 1997
The Insomniacs are cool. I love this band. These boys are serious cuties! They rock! - amazon
I saw these guys at a Cavestomp show (that i went specifically to see 60's rockers Richard and the Young Lions) and these guys were the previous act... And these guys rocked!
It looks like theyve been around for a while (their first Cd on Amazon was released in 1995), and I am REALLY surprised that they havent made it huge yet... Their songs are the way Rock & Roll is supposed to sound and if this is what the new wave of Garage Rock bands sound like, i think Rock is safe for a few more years!
There's sample of their music on Amazon, and I would suggest listening to "Already Down" and "Jump & Dance" to get a good feel for what they sound like... - By jamesh-lantern-media

Retrofoguetes "Chá Chá Chá" 2009
"ryp, something really nice for you and all twilightzoners..." - GLAUBER
Cinco anos após lançar seu disco de estréia “Ativar Retrofoguetes!”, o trio de rock instrumental baiano Retrofoguetes lança seu aguardado segundo cd intitulado “Cha Cha Chá”. Pelo tÃtulo peculiar, já é possÃvel perceber que as influências desse novo trabalho são mais diversas que no álbum anterior.
Em ‘Ativar’, o som era uma espécie de trilha sonora de filmes de ficção cientÃfica dos anos 50. Os nomes das músicas, inclusive, faziam essa referência. Em “Cha Cha Chá” a viagem musical é um pouco maior. Novas influências surgem para compor a musicalidade da banda.
A jornada musical vai atrás de sons de outros paÃses, lugares distantes e bastante exóticos. As referências estão nos tÃtulos das músicas como “Santa SicÃlia” (Itália), “O falso turco” (Turquia), “Maldito Mambo!” (Caribe) ou até mesmo dos nossos hermanos argentinos em “Constelación”.
O resultado é um disco que mostra uma clara evolução musical da banda, que buscou novas influências sem deixar de lados suas raÃzes no rock, surf music e rockabilly. Essa mistura formou algo totalmente novo, criativo e diferente para a banda, sem perder a sua essência musical.
Para conseguir esse incrÃvel resultado o que não faltam são participações especiais. Isso sem contar, é claro, da produção mais do que caprichada de andré t. e Nancy Viegas, que além de ótimos profissionais são também parceiros e amigos de longa data dos integrantes da banda.
Entre os convidados estão a Orkestra Rumpilezz, que adiciona seus metais a música “Maldito Mambo!”, e também conta com o arranjo do maestro Letieres Leite. Temos também o músico Saulo Gama tocando acordeom em duas músicas, além da guitarra baiana de Aroldo Macedo, instrumento inclusive que foi incorporado à banda em seus shows pelo guitarrista Morotó. E não param por aÃ. Outro convidado mais do que especial é o baixista e ex-integrante da banda Joe Tromondo. Fechando a lista temos o percussionista Humberto Monteiro.
Sem dúvidas esse é um dos grandes concorrentes ao disco do ano na Bahia e também do Brasil. Os Retrofoguetes conseguem fazer uma excelente mistura musical sem deixar de lado as suas caracterÃsticas. Músicas para dançar e ouvir sem parar. - Por Ramon Prates

It's just me having fun with my 45's and whatever random record I pull out of the boxes. I will try to give both sides of the 45 unless one side is unbearable. I hope you enjoy. (Gyro1966)
Starting with volume 28, I went back to the same setup that i used for the Garage Greats 45's series. I used the NAD preamp. Not sure if there is a sonic difference, but these 45's sure sounded great blasting out of two huge power amps into two quality sets of speakers on my end.

The Heartbeats / Shep & The Limelights "For Collectors Only" 1956-1962
This features all of the Heartbeats and Shep & the Limelights' best recordings -- two groups with slightly different lineups and one strong constant: James Sheppard on lead vocals. The 40 tracks make this collection definitive. Sheppard's smooth tenor was obviously a source of inspiration for George "Smitty" Smith, the Manhattans' original lead singer, who sang with a similar ache in his tenor. There are many timeless pieces here, most written by Sheppard, to warm your heart, including "A Thousand Miles Away," "Down on My Knees," "500 Miles to Go," "Three Steps From the Altar," "Our Anniversary," "Daddy's Home," and "What Did Daddy Do." A slow-song specialist, Sheppard did many up-tempo tunes with both the Heartbeats and the Limelights, making this a varied collection. (Andrew Hamilton, Allmusic)
The most puzzling aspect of the two groups formed by James "Shep" Sheppard were their modest (with one notable exception) chart performances. In 1956 he, Wally Roker, Robbie Adams, Vernon Walker, and Walter Crump, all from Queens, New York, formed The Heartbeats. That same year, backed by Al Browne & His Orchestra, they cut the outstanding single A Thousand Miles Away for the small Hull label. Taken over by Rama, it made it to # 5 R&B and # 53 Billboard Top 100 in January 1957, b/w Oh Baby Don't.
That is mystery # 1. I was 19 at the time and can vividly remember that song being a staple at every dance and party, so how it could only reach # 53 Pop is beyond me. In fact, it's always included in just about every 1950s retrospective compilation and was also a part of the soundtrack of the wonderful film, American Graffiti!
Six months later they had their second hit, only this time Everybody's Somebody's Fool (not the same one as the Connie Francis hit) could only manage a # 78 Top 100 in July. Mystery # 2 was why this failed to crack the R&B Top 100, let alone barely make the Pop charts.
The group folded in 1960, the same year a re-release of A Thousand Miles Away made it to # 96 Billboard Hot 100 in November, but Sheppard soon formed another group with Charles Baskerville and Clarence Bassett, calling themselves Shep & The Limelites (note the correct spelling). Their first release, back with Hull, was an "answer" song to A Thousand Miles Away, and Daddy's Home quickly rose to # 2 Hot 100/# 4 R&B in June, b/w This I Know.
This was more like it. But then came Mystery # 3. The follow-up Ready For Your Love just missed the Hot 100 Top 40 (# 44) in August, and again failed to dent the R&B charts. The same thing happened to the marvelous Three Steps From The Altar which topped out at # 58 Hot 100 in December, b.w Oh, What A Feeling. What was going on?
In March 1962 the melodic Our Anniversary (b/w Who Told The Sandman?) made a respective showing on the R&B charts (# 7), but finished a disappointing # 59 Hot 100. After that their only charters were What Did Daddy Do? (# 94 Hot 100 in June 1962) and Remember Baby (# 91 Hot 100 in February 1963). Totally inexplicable in that this group, employing a very unique lead/ two-part harmony style, produced some of the most memorable sounds to emanate from that era.
Sadly, Shep was discovered in his car on the Long Island Expressway on January 24, 1970, savagely beaten to death. He was 34.
You would honour his memory and do your ears a big favour by purchasing this great 2-CD set. (George O’Leary, The Guardian)

Retrofoguetes "Protótipo de Demonstração nº 1" 2002 EP + "O Maravilhoso Natal Dos Retrofoguetes" 2004 E
Retrofoguetes é uma banda instrumental brasileira formada por Rex (bateria), Julio Moreno (guitarra), Andre T (teclados) e Fábio Rocha (baixo).
Nascidos nos primeiros anos da década de 70, os integrantes do Retrofoguetes cresceram mergulhados no universo pop dos quadrinhos, desenhos animados, cinema e seriados de tv. O que eles não sabiam é que tudo isso, juntamente com uma bagagem musical que inclui surf music, música circense, latin jazz, cocktail lounge, spy jazz, tango, swing jazz, polka e rockabilly, seriam os ingredientes que eles misturariam 30 anos depois nos temas instrumentais do grupo.
Com participações em festivais por todo o paÃs, o trio criado em 2002 é reconhecido como uma das mais conceituadas bandas instrumentais independentes do Brasil. O CD de estréia, Ativar Retrofoguetes! (2003, Monstro Discos), recebeu em 2004 a indicação ao Prêmio Claro de Música na categoria Melhor Disco de Música Instrumental. Em 2008, os Retrofoguetes tiveram a música "Asteróide Fantasma" incluÃda na trilha do comercial da Unimed intitulado "War - Smoke Kills More". A peça publicitária foi produzida pela agência F/Nazca S&S, uma das mais respeitadas do paÃs e o comercial, recordista brasileiro em indicações, foi premiado com um Leão de Bronze e um Urso de Prata no Festival de Cannes.
“Chachachá”, o segundo CD, repete a produção de andré t e Nancy Viégas e é lançado, em 2009, pelo selo próprio Indústrias Karzov, com show no palco principal do Teatro Castro Alves, em Salvador. Pela faixa “Maldito Mambo!”, receberam, juntamente com o maestro Letieres Leite da Orkestra Rumpilezz, o prêmio de melhor arranjo no Festival de Música da Rádio Educadora da Bahia. O álbum foi considerado pela revista Rolling Stone como um dos 25 melhores discos nacionais do ano e os Retrofoguetes foram indicados ao Prêmio VMB da MTV como Melhor Banda Instrumental, além de figurarem na lista do portal VÃrgula/UOL entre as “10 Melhores Bandas do Nordeste”.
Com um trabalho de boa aceitação internacional e marcando presença em coletâneas e matérias de veÃculos estrangeiros, o grupo já realizou turnê pela Argentina e foi citado pelo jornal espanhol El Pais em uma lista das melhores canções para strip tease. Suas músicas ainda chegaram a trilhar um comercial que faturou o Leão de Bronze do Festival de Cannes na França e foram executadas pela rádio BBC de Londres.
Desde sua criação, os Retrofoguetes vêm colecionando prêmios e se apresentando em importantes festivais nas principais capitais do paÃs, entre eles o Abril Pro Rock, Virada Cultural de São Paulo, Goiânia Noise, Festival de Verão de Salvador, Festival Instrumental de Salvador, Coquetel Molotov, Campeonato Mineiro de Surf e Festival do Sol. Já na mÃdia televisiva, a banda acumula participações em programas da Rede Globo (Programa do Jô, Caldeirão do Huck), Multishow, MTV e SESC TV, onde gravaram, em 2012, o Instrumental SESC Brasil.
Após um breve recesso, com mudanças na formação, os Retrofoguetes retomam suas atividades, em 2013, lançando o single “Brezhnev”. Agora, em 2015, Rex (bateria), Morotó Slim (guitarra), Julio Moreno (guitarra) e Fábio Rocha (baixo) se preparam para o lançamento de um novo EP, enquanto terminam as gravações de “Enigmascope Vol. 1”, terceiro álbum do grupo, que deve chegar ao mercado em Agosto de 2016. - wiki

Com um trabalho de boa aceitação internacional e marcando presença em coletâneas e matérias de veÃculos estrangeiros, o grupo já realizou turnê pela Argentina e foi citado pelo jornal espanhol El Pais em uma lista das melhores canções para strip tease. Suas músicas ainda chegaram a trilhar um comercial que faturou o Leão de Bronze do Festival de Cannes na França e foram executadas pela rádio BBC de Londres.
Desde sua criação, os Retrofoguetes vêm colecionando prêmios e se apresentando em importantes festivais nas principais capitais do paÃs, entre eles o Abril Pro Rock, Virada Cultural de São Paulo, Goiânia Noise, Festival de Verão de Salvador, Festival Instrumental de Salvador, Coquetel Molotov, Campeonato Mineiro de Surf e Festival do Sol. Já na mÃdia televisiva, a banda acumula participações em programas da Rede Globo (Programa do Jô, Caldeirão do Huck), Multishow, MTV e SESC TV, onde gravaram, em 2012, o Instrumental SESC Brasil.
Após um breve recesso, com mudanças na formação, os Retrofoguetes retomam suas atividades, em 2013, lançando o single “Brezhnev”. Agora, em 2015, Rex (bateria), Morotó Slim (guitarra), Julio Moreno (guitarra) e Fábio Rocha (baixo) se preparam para o lançamento de um novo EP, enquanto terminam as gravações de “Enigmascope Vol. 1”, terceiro álbum do grupo, que deve chegar ao mercado em Agosto de 2016. - wiki
