Great Record! June 28, 2010
Mark Shilansky (boston)
Wonderful voice, great songs, great playing... authentic rockabilly and blues (with plenty of jazz thrown in, more poignantly performed than lots of actual jazz). Even better album than I thought it would be!
 Bop It June 17, 2010
David J. French (Ny, NY)
I saw Imelda May and her excellent band on Later... with Jools Holland and was really taken with them. She's a knockout and they are a totally committed band from the Teddy Boy looking guitarist on down. Watching them play and listening to this album, I got the sense that they aren't just trying to pay homage to early rock 'n roll and rockabilly, they feel it, believe it and practice it with their hearts and souls.
Starting with "Johnny Got A Boom Boom" with it's kicking beat and reverb spilling over was a real treat and the same goes for "Big Bad Handsome Man." And then on to the dark magic of "Got your Voodoo Working," this is a fine, fun album. Sorry, I mean CD. What i'm saying is it's got that vinyl feel to it.
The only tune I wasn't crazy about was "Smokers Song." A little too frenetic and the chorus...
I was very pleasantly surprised by the slow tunes they do. Torchy without being saccharine and it seems like she just believes in each word and every note. It'll be interesting to see how she follow this.
Excellent Music April 21, 2010
Mary K (Santa Clara, CA USA)
This CD is excellent. Imelda May's got a great sound. The music is catchy, and May is able to expand out to other styles, such as a very traditional waltz in Falling in Love With You Again, with tremendous success. This CD has become my new favorite.
good but check out devil doll queen of pain April 16, 2010
Xagan (Hallandale, Fl. United States)
Very good rockabilly noir ala the outstanding Devil Doll's "Queen of Pain" release from a few years ago. If you like this disc you must check out the Queen of Pain cd, which does this one better IMHO. That said this a great genre that is a lot of fun. The mixture of rockabilly and a jazz noir sound with a chanteuse singer who doesn't take it all too seriously is a great diversion in these tough times.
This band COOKS! April 12, 2010
LanceLink (Stamford, CT)
I saw these guys on Abbey Road and immediately went and bought their album. The band's tight, driving rockabilly rhythms, and May's smokey-sexy, subtly tremulous voice and aching, behind-the-beat phrasing are irresistable. If there was ever an album that could give a guy blue balls, this is it. I dare you to listen sitting down.
