Cat. No. 2798: LEE ROCKER & BIG BLUE ~ ATOMIC BOOGIE HOUR. BLACK TOP CD BT-1121. (IMPORT).
BIG BLUE CONSISTS OF LEE ROCKER (FORMERLY OF STRAY CATS FAME), MIKE ELDRED ON GUITAR AND HENREE DELUXE ON DRUMS. THE FORMED IN 1992 AND AFTER A BRIEF STRING OF STUNNINGLY SUCCESSFUL CALIFORNIA CLUB PERFORMANCES, HIT THE ROAD ON A U.S. TOUR WITH BLUES-ROOTED VOCALIST PAUL RODGERS. BIG BLUE’S TRIUMPHANT SELF-TITLED ALBUM FEATURED GUEST SHOTS FROM THE MEMPHIS HORNS, PIANIST IAN McLAGAN AND THE LEGENDARY SCOTTY MOORE. GUITAR WORLD MAGAZINE DESCRIBED THEM AS A “FIRE-BREATHING HILLBILLY’N’BLUES HYBRID HOT ENOUGH TO MELT A SUN SESSION 45!”. IN THIS, THEIR SECOND ALBUM THEY WERE ONCE AGAIN JOINED BY THE MEMPHIS HORNS ALONG WITH VERSATILE AUSTIN KEYBOARDIST, RILEY OSBORN. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SOME MAUDLIN’ BLUES THEN THIS ALBUM AIN’T OR IF YOU ARE AFTER SOME FIDDLE DRIVEN HILLBILLY MUSIC THEN THIS AIN’T IT EITHER. IT IS TWELVE TRACKS OF HIGH-POWERED ROCKING HILLBILLY/BLUES. NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART ****
