Warren Scott & The Memphis Playboys CD

Fans of Jack Rabbit Slim will instantly recognise some familiar faces, but Warren Scott & The Memphis Playboys carve out an identity of their own with a sound that leans even further towards classic 1950s rockabilly and Western Bop.

Strong original songs form the backbone of the album, complemented by inspired interpretations of recordings by Eddie Cletro, Pat Cupp and Slim Rhodes, all delivered with the energy and musicianship you'd expect from such experienced players.

Traditional in spirit but never predictable, this is a thoroughly enjoyable collection that captures the timeless appeal of vintage rock 'n' roll while showcasing a band with plenty of character.
