Texas roots music doesn't come much more authentic than The Leroi Brothers. Since the early 1980s they've been blending Rockabilly, Country, Blues, Rhythm & Blues and Honky Tonk into a distinctive sound that has earned them a devoted following on both sides of the Atlantic.
Released in 2000 after an eight-year gap between studio albums, Kings Of The Catnap finds the band in superb form with a collection of original songs that effortlessly capture the spirit of classic American roots music. From the driving Rockabilly of Scratchin' On Down The Line and Route 88 to the Country-tinged Someday and Dark Horse, the album showcases the band's musicianship and unmistakable Texas style.
Adding to the appeal is an outstanding line-up of guest musicians, including Buck Owens, Garth Hudson, Jimmie Vaughan, Ian McLagan, Jim Lauderdale and Cyndi Cashdollar, each bringing their own distinctive touch to an already impressive collection of songs.
Warm, unpretentious and steeped in American musical tradition, Kings Of The Catnap is one of The Leroi Brothers' finest albums and a rewarding listen for fans of Rockabilly, Americana and classic Roots Rock.
