Jumping from 6 to 6
You might think the last thing the world needs is yet another rockabilly revival band, but California's Big Sandy and his FlyRite Boys prove a welcome addition to the field with their first nationally distributed album,Jumpin from 6 to 6. For one thing, the Fly-Rite Boys construct their rockabilly not merely from the expected sources, honky tonk and jump-blues, but also from an often overlooked source, Western swing. When steel guitarist Lee Jeffriess and guest fiddler Brantley Kearns hook up on tunes like "Someone Like You" and "Honky Tonk Queen," the Fly-Rite Boys swing like few other rockabilly bands.--Geoffrey Himes
