#2941 Bloodshot Bill - Guitar Boy

Not one detail reveals this as anything other than a long-lost rockabilly record. The production's as flayed as it comes, all rattling upright strings, tube amp buzz, yelped breath on the mic. Hard to say if its a sincere limitation or gimmick or just the depth of Bill's devotion to the era. He's a bud of the puckish King Khan (stay tuned) -- anything seems possible.

As rockabilly goes, it's not going to dethrone the greats, but its a proper unhinged rollick, more Gene Vincent than Elvis (that's good) 3.5/5
