A.OK
Shocked!
Lincoln '59
Alone at last
Headin' for disaster
American way
Hard-boiled
Little lovely
Lord send me an angel
Damage control
The dead know nothing
I still dream of you
I'm still standin' here
and a bonus, hidden track
Chicago, Illinois is not known
for its great rockabilly nor is it considered part of the great
industrial rust belt.
Yet there is an active scene
happening around jump blues, Western swing, rockabilly, and 50s
rock n roll, and
Three Blue Teardrops
seem to be a major part of it.
Guitarist Dave Sisson who is also
in a band called the Gin Palace Jesters is from the heart of the
rustbelt Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Randy Sabo the drummer is
from Detroit, so that leaves Rick Uppling who hails from Chi-town
and plays the upright base to provide the anchors down in the
Windy City. And the color of the "tear drops" is perhaps a nod to
Chicago as a home of the blues.
Whatever their origins and
motivations, these three truly sing and rock out in this beautiful
package of original songs.
If you want to classify
them, I would put them smack between neo-traditionalist and
psychobilly, but who cares? Enjoy the picking, and twangin',
strummin', gnashing and warblin' as you listen.
