Hank Thompson (USA)
Hank The Hired Hand
(The Words & Music Of A Western Swing Legend)
2 CD SET
ETCD1030

©El Toro Records 2010

This double CD set features a fine selection of tracks from the 40’s and 50’s, including some OPS (Office Of Price Stabilzation) radio transcriptions plus a radio show from 2001 in which the King of Western Swing tells the story of his life; the beginnings, his influences and roots, his mates and colleagues...

Hank Thompson’s key to success lies in his songwriting and his band's consistent sound. Thompson's songs often cast an unflinching eye on the drinking and carousing honky-tonk lifestyle, as exemplified by his signature song "The Wild Side of Life" as well as "Honky-Tonk Girl" and "Six-Pack to Go."
From the late 1940s through the 1970s he was consistently in the country charts, landing nearly fifty songs in the Top-10 or Top-20.
With record sales well over 60 million internationally, Hank Thompson's career has impacted on seven decades (from the '40's into the 21st century) of recorded music history.
Hank Thompson died Nov. 6, 2007, following a battle with lung cancer.

The Silvertones (UK)
Hi-Ho-Silver Radio
CHER-CD 902116
©Cherokee Records 2009

This great German trio delivers a powerful mixture of 50s-style Rockabilly and Neo Rockabilly with the individual tracks having varying emphasis on these two styles, however, without one of them taking priority on the whole. So the CD features a varied, but nevertheless harmonious overall concept with which the band ingeniously merges the two styles to form their own sound, which is likely to appeal to both the Authentic audience and the fans of modern Rockabilly.

The band from the North of Germany was founded by the three friends, Jens Staar (guitar & lead vocals), Peter Ohnsorge (double bass) and Sven Oehlmann (drums) in 1991. After practising hard, the three guys played their first gigs in 1995 and rapidly became a popular act on the German Rockabilly scene. After a rhythm guitarist had temporarily played with the band, and Sven had taken a time-out from his job on the skins, the guys got together in the original line-up as a trio in 1997. With this line-up they have played numerous shows in clubs and at major German festivals since then. After some of their songs had been released on a number of compilation CDs in the past few years, such as the Hot & Wild Vol. 1 compilation on Cherokee Records or the EP of the German "Dynamite" magazine, there was a growing demand for a complete Silvertones album. So they felt it was time for their first own CD. The songs for the CD were recorded in 2008 and then mixed and mastered at the beginning of 2009.

So please enjoy the sounds of THE RIVERSIDE TRIO! The Cd Mixes Country, Blues And Rockabilly Equal Measure Although Even The Rockabilly Tunes Have A Bluesy Flavour Due To Cumming’s Guitar Style And Wilson’s Vocals.

Trailer Park Casnovas (USA)
So Charmin'
ETCD3010
© El Toro 2009

From the musical hills of Hollywood come the twangy sounds of Trailer Park Casanovas. They could be lumped into today's "Alternie-country" scene, but these boys reside in another court. No need for flamingos in their yard because they are fueled and supplied, rocked and amplified, by a hopped up and gassed "blurgrass" kinda sound.

Taking their lead from "The Future", native Kentuckian Paul Morris plays the guitar like a ringing a dinner bell. "Greasy, fried and sweet" guitar licks is what this guitar boy serves. "Crooning and mooning" is delivered fresh daily by Robert Lopez (Elvez), singing rockapallachian harmonies with Paul or just adding extra noise on guitar. He is the ham-bone in the broth. Tall and statuesque, Tony Redhorse is the foundation of the beat. The essential bass & dance, slapping you and that bass with his rocking style. They are all backed and beaten up by the man on the drums simply known as Jomar.

Their collective musical histories have taken them from punk rock, psychobilly, Mexican Elvis to Barbara Mandrell's made for TV band, singing songs about the Southland (but this time it's more South California), lost love, trash and beer.

Before you know it, Trailer Park Casanovas will have Airstreamed their ways into your hearts and, hopefully, your pocket books. So be a KOA and hook them up.
