The fabulous new release from this top rockin' UK outfit.
This line up in early 2007 recorded the criticlly acclaimed third CD (A Starlit Shindig With ........ ) and again the band had written the majority of songs themselves , proving once again that this band just gets better & better.
2007 found the boys Headin' back to the USA to play a tour on the East coast which inc shows in New York , New Jersey & Chicago with final shows at the Rockin' 50's Festival at Green Bay and then on return even more shows in Germany & Europe & the UK. Late in 2007 they parted company with Nick and for the remaining shows that year had the pleasure of using the Bass playing skills of Neil Scott & Stuart Panamann ( thanks guys ) They have just released their latest CD ' A Good Ol' Country Jamboree ' on Rhythm Bomb, this release has the boys joined by Phil Morgan (pedal Steel), Dave Priseman (Trumpet), Jim Morrison (Fiddle) & Slim ( Accordian & Piano).
So the Cordwood Draggers go from strength to strength , you wont find to much 12 bar here, you wont hear the same old cover versions played over & over again, some people don't like them, they don't care, they only care about the people who come out to see them & buy there CD'S, not the people that follow bands because they think they have to. ONLY THE CORDWOOD DRAGGERS ARE 100% HILLBILLY!
Recorded live & produced over 4 days in 2007 by Mark Rankin at Miloco Studios, London.

.... On top of it all, besides the tunes and the talent, this thing sounds real gone. Nothing winds down a platter faster than a Rockabilly record that sounds like it was recorded ina a library.
It seems a world away from that sleepy Californian town where it all began. With thousands of miles on the clock, hundreds of honky tonks and a year down the line, Mick, Jose and Big Ed can now be found tearing up stages across the globe. From frozen Finland to atom-hot Nevada, hell-hot barns to uptown bars, these fellas can hick it or slick it at the flick of a switch. With their newest release the boys bring it on home and kick their shoes off.
Mick Cocksedge (rhythm guitar/vocals) flirted with fame fronting One Track Mind but a near miss with cabaret and he was history. Ex Sugar King Boy Jose Espinosa took his bay-area smash 'Tip-top' to an international audience, but since that chance encounter at the drag strip he hasn't looked back. Big Ed Potter (show-offy guitar) sold the little green he had for his trusty Telecaster and things really began to swing.
The Cordwood Draggers second disc on El Toro records showcases some of the finest rockabilly music this side of '56. Recorded completely live in no time at all at the now infamous Sisterbelle Studios - London Branch, these boys stick to what they know best; tall tales of hot rods, hotter women cool beer, and doing wrong.
Their bop fuelled rocket-ride to stardom has only just begun and with a disc of this calibre, and judging by the early response, this rocket ship is gonna ride.
El Toro Records Boss Carlos "Diddley" Diaz say of this disc "I knew from the first I heard if it that it was going to be smash it. I bopped, I strolled - I fell down drunk with excitement."
Mini Dave (their almost drummer, and well known impressario) follows "The power that comes from this Trio is like an ad for nervous tension. When I think of I get sounds like ZOOM! And POW! It comes on with a blip like a battle ship. Big on the Radar screen."

The Cordwood Draggers tip their hats to a moment in time when the rustic bug-eyed bop of Opry and Hayride stages collided head-on with young upstarts cutting sides for Mercury and Starday. The Draggers deliver a no-holes barred mix of hillbilly bop like it never went out of style.
‘A Starlit Shindig with… the Cordwood Draggers’ marks the band’s third release on the El Toro label and finds the fellas firing on all cylinders like never before. ‘Shindig’ was recorded and mixed in just two days, capturing all the excitement of a typical live show.
Mick’s ear for a melody, searing guitars and a solid rhythm section help nail a sound that has left audiences across the globe hollering out for more. Original material proves that this band are no two-bit tribute act, these songs are testament to the highs and lows of an after-hours lifestyle and the promise of better times.
If you buy one record this year make sure this is the one. You won’t be disappointed!

With styles ranging from Surf-Pop, Alt' Country and almost borderline Psychobilly, this band serve up 14 fantastic tracks, all very kitsch and all self penned.
The Bad Detectives started with a bunch of friends who liked music and could just about manage a basic three chord racket. Influences came from the sixties beat boom, pub rock and eventually punk. Early line-ups included Ralph Mitchard, Ed Larman and Mark "Bunce" Hunt alongside perenial members Ivan Bojczuk and Mark "Henry" Hutton. The group spent many years playing pubs, clubs and parties building up a small local fanbase whilst also having a very good time.The band started to get noticed for the unusual subject matter in their songs and the way they managed to mix up many diverse influences and still sound like The Bad Detectives.

The super shock sensation of all time.....All Together......All Terrific. Bringing All NEW THRILLS! Bigger! Smarter! Faster! Meaner!
Just when you thought it was safe to go back to your stereo ... the monster demands a mate!
Yes it's The Bad Detectives part deux, the long awaited sequel to the groovetastic 'Get Hip-Let Rip'. On a good day, they're a great band. On a bad day, they're the best there is. B-Movie Beat: the most fun you'll have rockin' out since Santa was kidnapped by the Martians. An adventure three years in the making - You'll rock, you'll roll, you'll hurl. Beat more powerful than a thousand H-Bombs unleashed to devastate earth! World in panic! Cities in flames!
The most Colossal tunes ever known, made by musicians transformed by Nuclear Waste - you might pass them on the street, you might watch them on TV, you might buy their recordings. You think they're people just like you, but you are wrong, DEAD wrong!
Seventeen slabs of widescreen beat and boogie recorded in DetectAudioSurround-o-Vision. An album science created - BUT COULD NOT DESTROY! Don't try to resist they'll get you in the end. Watch the skies ladies and gentlemen, watch the skies....Nothing this groovy ever dies.
BEHOLD! - The Bad Detectives
Remember - Don't get them wet, keep them out of bright lights and never EVER feed 'em after midnight
