What if some of the biggest songs of the rock era had been recorded at Sun Studio in 1956? That's the wonderfully entertaining idea behind Now Here's Union Avenue, with Union Avenue recreating the unmistakable sound of early Sun Records and bringing the spirit of Johnny Cash's formative recordings vividly back to life.
The 13-track collection takes songs from an extraordinary range of artists and gives them a complete rockabilly makeover. Billy Idol's White Wedding, The Rolling Stones' Sympathy For The Devil, Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here, The Undertones' Teenage Kicks, The Clash's Should I Stay Or Should I Go?, Lou Reed's Walk On The Wild Side and Motörhead's Ace Of Spades are transformed into performances that sound as though they have escaped from a vintage recording session.
Alongside those unlikely rockabilly candidates are songs such as Mean Eyed Cat, Mystery Train and Sing A Travelling Song, making this a hugely enjoyable collision of rock 'n' roll, country and rockabilly. 13 familiar songs, one gloriously retro sound and a concept that should appeal to anyone who enjoys hearing well-known material turned completely on its head.
