| CUSTOMER REVIEWS: | 5/5 - It's Good!
A very catchy album. Several hints of hints of doo-wop with that insatiable Fly-Rite swing. A little surf rock. A little pizzacato by Ashley. Jimmy Roy on steel. Bobby, keeping the beat. Slappin' bass. Sandy crooning. Man, what a good thing!
"Catalina" and "Money Tree" (sung by Jeff, the upright player)
stay with you long after the playing is done. Hey, all the songs are good'ns, though.
See them on their current tour and you'll appreciate the band even more.
5/5 - Wow Brother, Go Get You Some Sandy
This is going to be a killer review. Just so you know. When i first listened to this i was like, hey man, where's the nice snappy easy listening tunes??? I wasn't in to it. But, upon reflection on the fact that ..How could Sandy and the boys put out someting i didn't like?? I put it in again. What is so dang killer about Sandy is he takes old school and gives it to you in such a different way, it doesnt make sense right away. I sat down, gave it a direct listen, and hey, it's a great record, plain and simple
Sandy is such a great singer. You are a true talent my man. Your voice keeps my place warm at night. Where are the Sinatra's of our generation. Here's the guy.
Jimmy Roy plays some killer steel guitar, man, you just gotta love that instrument. Such an extension, it's killer.
Bobby Trimble is like a freightrane back there. I've never heard anyone with such perfect timing, although Brian Fahey rings a bell.
Jeff West is thumpin along back there. That must be a killer instrument to play, the steering wheel of the band.
Ashley Kingman has such a great feel on his pick, you can really tell the difference, and it makes for some unique sounds.
This album is heaven my friends. I'm takin this one to the other side.
5/5 - Sandy's latest is Sandy's greatest...
Robert has really outdone himself here, his vocals sound so great on the title track. The steel guitar work is exellent, the bands musicianship is top notch(they can play anything from straight ahaed jazz to hillbilly boogie. This cd swings all the way thru and is highlighted by the title track, Money Tree, Bayou Blue, Chalk It Up To Yhe Blues and the haunting I Am But A Dreamer. Great stuff, if you like rockabilly and/or western swing with touches of hillbilly boogie woogie. |
