    This “Johnny-come-lately” replicant did it better than the progenitors. Killer album.

      I plucked this from a bargain bin for 2 bucks and it sat in the stacks for a couple of years. When it finally hit the turntable, it had a long stay.
      Awesome record, great for punks, rockabilly types and fans of good rock and roll. Link Wray can twang like a motherfucker and Robert Gordon's got the pipes, the results are magic. Check out Lonesome Train if you want to hear rock and roll the way the good lord intended.
      Essential versions of classics.
