Lee Rocker Bulletproof 33rd Street Records Without a doubt, this is the best thing that Lee Rocker has recorded since leaving the Stray Cats. This is the masterpiece that No Cats failed at reaching and the Live album hinted at. Anyone who has seen Lee Rocker play live and was blown away by the hop rockabilly that assaulted the senses of the audience will be blown away by this bombastic disc of energy and passion. From the loaded and fiery thunder of "Evil" to the sultry "Blue Suede Nights" to the Elvis and Johnny Cash-influenced "Nervous Little Angel" and the Rev. Horton Heat rocker "Upright and Underground," this disc will appeal to all types of classic rockabilly and 50s-style rock n' roll fans and those not so familiar with the classics. Speaking of the classics, Lee Rocker does some covers that do justice to the originals. Carl Perkins (Elvis' songwriter), The Beatles and Johnny Cash get the nod by this masterful acoustic upright bass-slapper. Destined to be a true classic and masterpiece, Bulletproof shows an artist enjoying in the studio what he does best without watering down the recorded end result. (April 2003) |
