Steeplejack - Pow Wow (1988)

Steeplejack was formed in 1986 by Maurizio Curadi, after playing guitar singing and writing songs in seminal acid rock italian bands such as Useless Boys and Birdmen of Alkatraz. Steeplejack has always been a strange anomaly in the Italian scene: visionary rather than psychedelic in the usual sense, the band has always followed an independent path with unusual spirits and sounds, mixing primitive delta blues with eerie songs. They recorded 2 LP's ("Serena Maboose" in 1987, and "Pow Wow" in 1988 for Electric Eye Records) and 2 singles in 1991. After years of apparent inactivity, they reformed in 2000. At present they're recording new material for a new cd, "Nameless City".

Deke Dickerson - King of the whole wide world (2008)

Deke Dickerson is the Chet Atkins of the modern rockabilly/hillbilly scene, who has a well earned repuation as the model professional. His guitar picking is second to none and he has also won acclaim for his production work and even his sleeve notes on a variety of vintage retrospectives. Despite all thisa, I have to hold my hand up and say that his albums have never really done too much for me, they all contain a couple of good tracks but nothing that stands comparison to his live shows. Until now that is. This latest release sees him go up a couple of notches and finally does justice to his undeniable talent.

Deke perfected the act of guitar playing on his custom double-neck Mosrite guitar and made his name in the vibrant California scene with Dave Stuckey as the hillbilly duo Dave and Deke, whose Hollywood Barndance included the great tribute to our bald headed heroes, Chrome Dome. When they parted amicably he formed his own band the Ecco-fonics, the best of whose albums is 1998's Number One Hit Record album on HighTone's HMG label. I've heard two or three of their albums and as I said, they've never quite hit my spot.


The new CD, King of the Whole Wide World is a varied set from hooped-up bluegrass to rockabilly. Among the guests on it are Chris "Sugarballs" Sprague, Carl Sonny Leyland, "Crazy" Joe Tritschler, The Lucky Stars, Jimmy Sutton, Pete Curry of Los Straitjackets, Mitch Polzak and Mary Huff of Southern Culture on the Skids.

Bo Street Runners - 1964

The Bo Street-Runners first experience in a recording studio came early in 1964 when as a response to their fans at their weekly residency at The Railway Hotel in Harrow who wanted a momento of the gig.
The record was sold on Sunday nights at the gig for five shillings; the current (March 2008) value for a mint copy of the EP is given as £1,500 (Record Collector Magazine) Not a bad investment.

The Creatures - All I do is cry [EP] (1966-1967)

Originally from Mildura in Victoria, these garage-punkers formed as The Beagle Boys in 1965. The name change to The Creatures came the following year when they began playing R'n'B. They became notorious for their extremely long hair, which was dyed in various lurid colours.

Later, one of

The Easybeats' promoters spotted them playing and lured them back to Sydney, where their long hair attracted wider publicity for them. Whilst in Sydney, they frequently supported The Easybeats.

The Hentchmen - Three times infinity (2002)

The Hentchmen are a top-notch Rock n' Roll combo from Detroit, Michigan. Their origin dates back to October 1992, when founding members John and Tim, bored with commercial radio, set out to play stripped down, primitive Rock n' Roll. Using the same blunt and essential instruments (organ, guitar and minimal drum kit) as their Sixties Garage/Punk heroes, the boys rebirthed a savage "hit and run" sound that would soon prove to drive the young-at-heart into a feeding frenzy.

The mighty Detroit Hentchbeat roars again with their most powerful record yet! INFINITY TIMES THREE (Norton 294) includes ten new driving Hentch originals + atomic covers of Big Joe Turner and Devo (?!) & knockout production by Jim Diamond.

1. Straight Up
2. Makin' Out
3. Brain Power
4. Broke Down
5. Shimmy Shake
6. April
7. LeSabre Radar
8. Front Porch Entertainers

10. Beat That
11. Pack Up & Go
12. Teenage Letter
