Kick ass Rockabilly from El Paso, Texas. The Star Mountain Dreamers were formed in 2003 by Fred Contreras and Tony Estrada. The addition of Danny Magana on drums and several personel changes on bass including Rockin' Lloyd Tripp and now Moe Lopez completes the band.

The music is all hot and spicy Texas rockabilly. If you wanna rock, bop and dig it, this is the platter for you. Great rockabilly rhythms, excellent musicianship and a very specific own sound. You might find that the lyrics are a bit hard to understand on the fast tracks, but the way singer Tony Estrada expresses himself with a huge load of energy is really something else. Although fast and loud, the album was recorded in a very vintage way at the El Paso Texas Mobile Unit of "The Studio That Time Forgot" (San Fransisco, CA).

The album was officially released at the Green Bay Rockin 50s Fest, 2005. The song "Hound Like Me" was selected "Boppin' Crackshot" of August 2005 by the famous Dutch Rock 'n' Roll Lifestyle Magazine "Boppin' Around".

The Tennessee Boys (PORTUGAL)
Burning Miles

©El Toro Records 2005

In the summer of 1994, I got a short letter from a cat named Pedro Serrgura who lived in Portugal. He told me that he had a rock-a-billy band called "The Tennessee Boys", and they wanted to come visit us and try to do some recordings at our home in Denver Colorado. I had a number of doubts about their idea,
and suggested that they think it over quite seriously before making such a decision. After all, they were all very young men, and had never really been away from home before. About three weeks later we got a call from the airport saying that they were here and could we give them directions to our house! We were more than a little surprised to say the least! A couple of hours later in walked these four young hep cat looking boys, with smiles on their faces and rock-a-billy in their hearts.

After a few days of getting adjusted to a pretty much different "world" than they had been used to, we took them out to our favorite rock-a-billy club called Ziggies Saloon and introduced them all around to the cats and kitties who were there hangin' out. They borrowed some instruments from one of our local be-bop bands called the Hillbilly Hellcats and the town of Denver was changed forever! Them boys took all of us by complete storm! I mean, they flat rocked our socks off, and soon became the rock-a-billy "house band" and played almost every weekend there. It didn't take them very long before they'd won over the hearts and minds of every Rockin' cat and kitty we had in town and a number of bands such as High Noon (who they more than held their own with), The Roadhouse Rockers, and various other bands.

During the week, we got together almost every day and jammed and recorded. I had the pleasure of recording a number of tracks with them myself and they also recorded a large number of their own songs as well as covers of classic rockers. This CD is (in my humble opinion) the very best of those recordings, and shows just how talented these cats really were. I've heard other recordings they had made in studios, but none of them even came close to the power and spontaneity (which is after all what makes rock-a-billy music what it is) of these recordings. They stayed with us in Denver for just about a year and gave us the
very best of their unique style of music, and everybody simply loved each and every one of them in return.
It broke our hearts to see them go, but as most things in life, all good things must come to an end. Denver was never really the same after they were gone though. Although they're no longer active as a band, we here all wish them the very best! As someone who had the opportunity to really get to know these boys, (and who is as much of an "expert" as there can be in the field of rock-a-billy field music) I can guarantee you'll get your shoes rocked right off'n yer' feet when you put this little gem on the ol' play and spin it!
So, put your rockin' shoes on and hold on to yer' hats cats and kitties! The Tennessee Boys are gonna "ROCK YOUR WORLD"!

T-Bear & The Dukes of Rhythm (SWE)
Let The Sweet Talk Flow

©El Toro Records 2007

Those cats come from the cold Sweden to warm up the dance floors around the globe, their first CD is full of great R&B sounds from the 50's and 60's era.

El Toro Records is proud to present one of the best R&B bands coming from Sweden in the new century! Don't miss it!

Torbjörn "T-Bear" Solberg and Jan Lillsäter had been playing together in a Texas Shuffle trio for about 10years, when T-Bear came up with the idea of starting a band with a horn section.
The band was formed in spring 2004 and had their first gig just before Christmas the same year.

The following year the band continued doing gigs, writing some new songs and saving up money for a CD production.

In the mid summer 2006 T-Bear&the Dukes hired one of the Swedish Radios mobile studios and recorded "Let The Sweet Talk Flow" in a church-house outside of their hometown. Later that summer, parts of the band mixed the recording and sent it to Mastertone for mastering.

Thanks to Leo Castro, a legendary radio-voice in Barcelona and MySpace the band got in contact with Carlos Diaz of "El Toro Records" who was interested in releasing "Let The Sweet Talk Flow" on his label.

Originally from London, Phil Trigwell came to Sweden in 1971. Born in 1947 Phil was (just about!) old enough to experience the vibrant music scene of the 50s and early sixties. Phil has worked in several musical constellations, but with PHIL TRIGWELL & The DEPUTIES he achieved international renown with the classic Rockabilly album, It wasnt the moonlight. With the Deputies (whose members are also of international renown, on their own merits!) Phil Trigwell serves a tasty coctail of Rockabilly music.
