The Top Cats are a British rockabilly trio serving up a cracking collection of rock 'n' roll favourites and rockabilly classics. Rockabilly Trash mixes 1950s-inspired material with later rockabilly favourites, from Eddie Cochran's Twenty Flight Rock and Vince Taylor's Brand New Cadillac to the Stray Cats' Stray Cat Strut and Runaway Boys.
What makes it particularly fun is the sheer variety of material given the Top Cats treatment. There is Johnny Kidd's Please Don't Touch, Dave Alvin's Marie Marie, Elvis Presley's Heartbreak Hotel and even The Rolling Stones' Paint It Black, all recast in the band's energetic rockabilly style. It's a great showcase for the band's ability to make familiar songs sound completely at home in a rockabilly set.
If your idea of a good time involves twangy guitars, slap bass, pounding drums and a generous dose of rock 'n' roll attitude, this is exactly the sort of CD that belongs in the collection. Fourteen tracks of straight-ahead rockabilly from The Top Cats, with plenty here to keep the jukebox spinning.
