Track review
Lovaa My Baby. (Tunaley)
mid paced tempo for this sentimental declaration of lovaa. Luke starts with some soft-spoken lyrics with a gentle riff from the guitar. Drums from Ian kick the track into a finger snapping rock n roll track. great lyrics and sang perfectly in the Riders way. The whole track is very catchy with the slap bass being the heartbeat of the track. Modern sound with that fifties vipe, just like it says on the tin.
All Shook Up.(Blackwell)
It’s a dangerous game nowadays when you cover the classic rock n roll tracks, Especially Elvis songs with its ever-faithful fans. but the trio gives it a brand-new modern backing. But they give it the respect of the original, which charted in 1957. If charts where still going today? Then this would defiantly enter the top 20. Great vocals and re-vamped backing brings right up to date. The guitar intro along with the drums is class. Well boys.
Summary
A great release from the boys of Mansfield. The writing again stands out on the original release. Its easy to see why the keep growing from strength to strength. The Riders have stuck to a formula that most defiantly works for them. Its pure, its enjoyable it ROCK N ROLL.
