The Bonneville Barons (UK)
Cures What Ails You

Chris Wilkinson (guitar, vocals), Yann Mahdjoub (bull-fiddle, vocals)
Somewhere in between a circus side-show and a pair of travelling snake-oil salesmen, The Bonneville Barons are the hot string duo of Yann Mahdjoub (string bass, vocals) and Chris Wilkinson (guitar, vocals).
Another 13 wonderful songs from The Bonneville Barons. All tracks are once again from the pen of Chris Wilkinson and this their 3rd album is their best to date - and the previous 2 were fantastic! This album sees them wheel in a few special guests which adds a nice extra texture now and again.
The Bonneville Barons have come a long way in the last few years and can now be seen on the bill at most of the good festivals and big events, where they continue to wow audiences.
After cutting his teeth with wild rockabilly band The Tawny Owls in his native France, Ramblin' Yann relocated to the UK in 2002. Eager to find musicians he received a call from 23-year-old Marvel comics devotee Chris Wilkinson.
After meeting in the summer of 2005 the boys began writing and rehearsing their own original material when they came to the attention of Western Star supremo Alan Wilson, who swiftly signed them up and released their debut recording 'The Guitar & Bull-Fiddle of The Bonneville Barons' on Western Star Records.
"A stunning new UK Rockabilly band. All original material and all rockin' as hell!" Raucous Records
"Stunning, brand new, self-penned Rockabilly numbers from this Devon band that started in 2005. Great songwriting and musicianship. As heard on Radio Caroline" Nervous Records
"What more do you need to play rockabilly music than an upright bass and an electric guitar?...a genuine two-man-band that just sounds great...the duo are fabulous songwriters too" BlackCat Rockabilly
