Don’t be afraid by the ugly cover that makes them look like a cheap imitation of rockabilly ready to go to the eurovision contest. The music is far better than what you could expect.
The Hellabama Honky Tonks play fats driven rockabilly with the slap bass to the fore (sometimes the slap more than the bass) with a touch of blues (Rockin’ All Night) and a modern attitude that often borders to Psychobilly. Real good ideas and solid originals complete the package.
