Editorial Reviews
Tommy Timebomb
"Every song on this album is a keeper, no padding at all."

Product Description
Known around the Northwest Rockabilly Club circuit for their wild crowd-gathering live shows, Dizzy Elmer, with the help of long-time Big Sandy and the Fly-Rite Boys member, Wally Hersom, in the producers chair, have poured out their pompadoured souls into 14 highly catchy tracks. From the intense Gene-Vincent-on-Benzadrene vocal delivery by singer/guitarist, Jethro Grady on the self-penned opening track, Dizzy Mo, to the dark, moody 'This Bad Dog' with Skeeter Joplin driving the song like a locomotive to the base-slappin' western swing style of 'Fanny Mae', this strong debut album keeps the listener guessing and surprised from track to track. This is good clean down-home American Rockabilly excitement at it's best, recorded on vintage equipment by a band with a flair for melody and talent to spare.

Fine reissue of a classic set.......2006-05-24

Think about the stupidest, most formulaic Hollywood movies you can think of: cheesy action pictures, fluffy, unfunny comedies, big but stiff epics. Now imagine that one of the greatest living composers was working in Hollywood, turning out astonishing, hauntingly beautiful and stirring musical scores for these throwaway movies. That's what you get with this set: music Henry Purcell composed for some two dozen often utterly forgettable plays (trust me--I've read a number of them!) Occasionally, when he teams up with a playwright worthy of his stature, such as John Dryden, Aphra Behn, or William Congreve, the results are even better, but for the most part you can enjoy the music here without knowing anything about the original plays.

This set originally appeared as separate LPs in the 70s and 80s, and has been long out of print. That's a pity, since Purcell spent a good deal of his short professional life in the theatre, either writing the incidental music contained on these CDs, or the music for his larger works, the semi-operas (King Arthur, The Fairy Queen, and the like). Almost all of these works are enjoyable gems; certainly, they represent a pinnacle of English 17th century music. Purcell had a genius for spinning musical gold out of the most leaden lyrics (check out his Odes and Welcome Songs on Hyperion if you don't believe me), and he does the same with the song texts in these plays.

Hogwood and the AAM offer clean, listenable performances, and the sound on these old analog discs has been cleaned up and brightened--although they were pretty good, even in the late 70s. As with most Hogwood, emotional extremes are kept to a minimum, so the "otherworldly" nature of late 17th century music, so often emphasised in more recent Baroque performances, doesn't come across here. It would be interesting to see what a group like The King's Consort would do with this music, but this set fills the major gap in the Purcell canon quite nicely.

My only beef with the reissue, as with many reissues, is that the liner notes are rather thin for a 6-cd set--the lyrics to the songs, for example, are especially missed. Still, it's a worthwhile set, and a must for fans of Purcell, English Baroque music, or anyone who just wants to experience a taste of the last days of the Restoration stage.

Get This CD... then get to a show!.......2000-10-23

This is a must see band! PURE TALENT. Find a way to bring them to your home town, you won't be sorry. A real tight band with the hottest little bassist there ever was (her back up vocals will make you cry for more), a smokin' drummer (his solos will knock your socks off), and a super cool cat singer/guitarist that made it all happen. These cats and that cool kitty-o are honest-to-goodness ROCK-A-BILLY rioters... THE REAL DEAL.

THIS BAD DOG- ONE BADDDD CD!.......2000-07-13

Well to be honest I never really listened to much rockabilly,but I was VERY impressed, not with just the music but their fashionstatement. Most groups nowadays try to imitate others, but why not beunoriginal? It definitely draws more attention and gives their music more character. But for sure you need to check this cd out, the price is so cheap for what you get. Their music is a fresh new sound based off of the original rockabilly. Don't think that just because rockabilly has been around for a while it can't attract the people of today- check it out definitely- IT'S AWESOME!

Go, Dogs, Go!.......2000-06-09

I got this a few weeks ago after being fortunate enough to see one of their rockin' live performances, and it hasn't left my cd player since!

Their wonderful songwriting alternates between sly humour, sweet charm and heart-throbbing bad-boy aggression and really sets them apart from most of the other rockabilly bands I've seen. Musically, their sound is tight and polished and makes you want to jump up and dance - and Jethro Grady's growling, deep voice makes you sit up and pay attention and wonder why no one else sounds remotely like him.

I really love the entire album, but "Big Legged Woman" is my personal favorite, and I actually like their cover of Hank Williams' "Honky Tonkin'" more than the original - it fits them so well, it feels like one of their own.

Product Description

Track listing: 1. BioMass - 2. The Smallest Title - 3. (How's the Air?) - 4. Heavy Gold - 5. No Te and E - 6. Don't Make Up Eddison //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// With the '06 release of such an accelerant EP 'Motel Moore: Baggage Smasher, Phil Moore Browne continues in the trend of romancing us with their spasm rock and roll sound that reaks of dadaist flared rhyme blended amongst a clunky, chunky, and punk powered freedom. PMB mixes the sexuality of Afro-beat funk with post hip-hop praise and spiritually driven field music of the past to make a futuristic style all their own. A style they call 'Ziggaboo,' a slang term meaning 'crazy gospel.' 'Baggage Smasher' is an ear popping curtailment to their '05 debut release 'The Lobbies' which amassed PMB an extremely loyal fan base.
