Mississippi Queen delivered an excellent album, and every song has been taken care of with lots of passion, enthusiasm, and rock & roll by the band. All this commitment and plain hard labor results into this sparkling CD that I really like a lot. It's one of those platters that you throw in the player, puff a smoke, drink a beer and enjoy the ride. The selfpenned tracks have been well-matured and they grab you straight away. The coversongs underwent a nice treatment and received a great workover. Johnny Burnette's "Cincinatti Fireball" is a hard to cover song, but I just have to love this version.
"You're My Baby", a Johnny Cash song, mostly known in Roy Orbison's rendition, goes down smoothly. So does Johnny Horton's "You You You", but what really makes my heart tick faster are the selfpenners on this album. Just listen to "Don't Leave Me This Way" or "I'm Going Home"! The musicians are seasoned pro's: Ivan Semeš-Sammy is an awesome guitar picker and Karlo has a very pleasant voice to listen to. Double bass player Jurica completes the treesome and plays his bass the way I like it: producing really cool lines and actually playing the thing, instead of overemphasizing on the "slap-click-clickety-click" that you hear too much nowadays. I can't wait to hear the next album from these boys, but for now, I'm not finished playing this one for a long while! see www.rockabilly.nl for more informations.
