Reader Reviews
From the man who wrote and recorded "Susie Q" in 1957 comes the first new release in 30 years and its certainly been worth the wait. Dale Hawkins was one of many rock & roll/rockabilly acts strutting their stuff in the late 50's who earned the distinction of being the most recorded of all white artists on the Chess label. Dale toured mainly with black R&B artists at that time before taking up recording duties in the 60's with the likes of Bruce Channel, Five Americans and Nilsson. More recently, he was responsible for producing the recent CD for Kenny Brown, the former RL Burnside sideman. "Wild Cat Timer" jumps out of the speakers from the opening title cut and continues in a similar vein taking on board a mix of swamp, blues, country and of course rockabilly. The playing throughout is loud, loose and jumping. Buy it before Dale takes time out for another 30 years to record his next gem!
