The band deliver a scorching collection that combines authentic Rockabilly with other vintage rockin' styles from the original Rock 'n' Roll era, balancing hard-driving revival sounds with strong songwriting and plenty of period flavour.
The winning combination of original material and carefully chosen covers includes Bop Billie Baby, Hot Rod Man, Smoke That Cigarette and Bull By The Horns, alongside versions of 1950s classics associated with Johnny Burnette, Charlie Feathers and Wayne Walker. It's a lively set that shows Hi-Voltage aren't simply recreating the sound of the past, but bringing their own energy and musicianship to the classic Rockabilly formula.
If you like your Rockabilly authentic, energetic and rooted firmly in the original 1950s sound, Hot Rod Man delivers the goods. A first-class mixture of original songs and vintage favourites, this is a fine example of the British Rockabilly Revival at its most accomplished.
