The band Little Neal & The Blue Flames is an authentic rock'n'roll/rockabilly quartet from Berlin, Germany: Little Neal on vocals & lead guitar, Maurice (ex-bassist for Ike & The Capers) on rhythm guitar, Alexander on drums & Sascha on upright bass. After some recordings on the german samplers "Rough Rockin'" volume 1 & 2, and also a 4 tracks EP on Favourite Records, here is their long, long awaited first album. It's been recorded at the excellent Lightning Recording Service in Berlin, & edited by the german company that owns this studio, Rhythm Bomb Records. The sound is vintage and really good (as usual from this studio).
Fifteen tracks on this CD: Six late 50's rock'n'roll covers and nine self penned tracks. The covers are excellent, especially Marlon Grisham’s "Ain’t That A Dilly", Larry Donn’s "Honey Bun" (with piano), Jerry Ross's "Everybody's Tryin To Kiss My Baby" and Bob Luman’s "All Night Long". The original songs are even better: rockin' tracks ("Skip Jack Rock", "Cat Shack", "Why You Need A Proof"), boppin' ones ("Cooly Fooly Boy", "How Can She Be Bad", "Till The Cows Come Home") and an awesome strollin' blues ("Ten Times Better"). This four hepcats are superb musicians, the drum(!!!)/bass/rhythm guitar section maintains a good rockin' beat throughout the record, & Neal on lead guitar shows that breaks can be real wild with a clean sound (His vocal is also really good). On four tracks, the participation of a backing vocal band (the Mellow Men) contribute to the rock'n'roll sound of this album.
