Long awaited and long overdue, this new album of the Kings of Teddy Boy rock 'n' roll, Crazy Cavan & The Rhythm Rockers. It must be five years since their last original release "It's Wild, It's Weird, It's Crazy" (not counting Lyndon Need's solo effort "Guitar Crazy" from 1998). For as long as I can (or care to) remember I've been a Cavan fan, and I must say I'm very pleased with this new release. Have you seen the band on stage lately? Still wild as ever! Although Cavan has lost some hair over the years and is having a hard time making a greasy quiff nowadays (the hat he's wearing looks pretty neat), he never lost his love for rockabilly music. I wouldn't mind the fact that he's getting a bit bald, if it weren't for the fact that it reminds me of my own age. Well anyway, I still got my quiff, although it has a silver glow now.This album rocks as Cavan has always rocked, larded with their own bluesy pounding crazy rhythm sound. Included are a bunch of well picked cover songs and a couple of Cavan Grogan original teddyboy songs. Lyndon is still wild as ever, with Terry, Steve and Mike keeping a steady rhythm. Guest stars are Linda Gail Lewis on piano (8 tracks!) and Dave Wood on fiddle. Surely a must for all Teddy Boys, rockers, and rockabillies all over the world!
