Get ready for a wild ride through the roots of rock 'n' roll with Cat Lee King & His Cocks and their second studio album, Shootin' Crap. Led by singer and pianist Cat Lee King, this talented quintet delivers a potent mix of rockin' rhythm & blues, raw 1950s rock 'n' roll, rockabilly and jump blues, driven by pounding piano, sharp guitar work and a rock-solid rhythm section.
Fourteen tracks showcase a band with a deep understanding of vintage American roots music and the imagination to take it in unexpected directions. From the infectious boogie of the opening title track and the country-rockin' drive of "Headin' for the Cotton Field" to the swinging "Mr. Big Time", the Latin-flavoured "Don't Blame It on Elvis" and the atmospheric rhythm & blues of "Miss Bourbon", the album explores everything from primitive R&B and jive to swing, calypso and mambo. Most of the material is original, with the band's tight arrangements, expressive vocals and accomplished piano and guitar playing keeping every track alive.
Whether you're a rockabilly fan, a rhythm & blues devotee or a lover of the wild sounds that helped shape early rock 'n' roll, Shootin' Crap delivers a generous helping of authentic roots music with plenty of character and variety. Fourteen tracks of swinging rhythms, irresistible grooves and first-rate musicianship make this a fine addition to any collection of rockin' sounds.
