Real nice rockabilly/swing offering. "Honky Tonk Queen" is infectious and will hook you right away.
The MuffsThe Muffs by The Muffs

This CD is like Phil Spector meets punk rock (which I gues he did with the Ramones). This is their best work.

The host of BBC's "Later" comes alive with his band. He proves that he's one of the premier keyboard men anywhere. Rock, boogie & swing.

Delbert's latest is yet another example of perfection. He should be a superstar.
