Booze Bombs, The
Crazy Love
The rockabilly band from the Black Forest has been around for good 20 years - the sixth studio album is appearing again on PART! In April 2018, the quartet around the charismatic singer Annie Leopardo finally played at the world's biggest rockabilly festival Viva Las Vegas - an honor that was only given to very few German bands. But with Crazy Love, the next longplayer is now quite reliably presented - 13 songs in the typical Booze Bombs style between meager Rockabilly and Rockin' Blues. A trademark sound that has earned the band a great reputation in the scene, distinguishing it from many fellow musicians. Of course, most of the songs are original compositions again, and the BLACK SHACK RECORDINGS studio was as close as ever. The few guest instruments such as blues harp, piano, saxophone or lapsteel guitar fit perfectly under the bone-dry arrangements, which especially put Pardo's powerful and variable voice in the middle. Their bandwidth becomes clear when Barbara Lynn's "You'll Loose A Good Thing" gets interpreted as a wonderful Rock'n'Roll ballad. As you would expect, the Booze Bombs deliver another highly energetic, exciting and atmospheric piece of work. This band embodies the motto "No Bullshit" in perfection. A real rockabilly highlight!
