Cat Lee King & His Cocks: Shootin' Crap (LP)

(Rhythm Bomb) 14 tracks

The second studio album by rockin' rhythm ‘n’ blues sensation Cat Lee King And His Cocks, named after the singer and pianist, is called “Shootin' Crap” and is being released as a CD in a digisleeve and as a vinyl LP on Rhythm Bomb.

The quintet led by former Ray Collins Hot Club musician Cat Lee King already made a name for themselves with their debut album “Cock Tales” (2018). But with “Shootin' Crap,” the pianist and singer with the incredible African-American timbre and his band have doubled down: no other band in this country plays the authentic rhythm ‘n’ blues and black rock ‘n’ roll of the 40s and 50s in such a diverse, soulful, groovy, and laid-back way. Not to mention jive and jump blues. Even more so than on their debut, the band adds beguilingly confident nuances from neighboring musical genres, while always staying true to their rhythm and blues DNA: country, rockabilly, calypso, samba, mambo, and swing can all be heard. From the primitive garage rhythm and blues of the opener and title track to the laconic “Last Call For Alcohol,” the band sets off a 14-song fireworks display of good taste, musical diversity, and nonchalance that is unparalleled, at least in this country. An absolute masterpiece of the genre!

Cat Lee King & His Cocks

Der Name dieses Rockin‘ Blues Quintetts aus Bonn, Deutschland, wird so manchem Engländer einen schlüpfrigen Herrenwitz entlocken. Doch nicht nur der Name fällt auf, denn diese Band ist jung, authentisch und extrem begabt.

Frontmann Cat Lee King sorgte bereits bei mehreren Formationen mit seiner bluesigen Reibeisenstimme und seinem flinken Pianospiel für Furore. Seit 2014 widmet er sich aber vor allem seinem Hauptprojekt Cat Lee King and His Cocks. Die Roots dieser Band sind vor allem schwarz. Zu den wichtigsten musikalischen Vorbildern zählen Größen wie T-Bone Walker, Wyonnie Harris, Ray Charles, Otis Spann, Muddy Waters und BB King.

Coverversionen wie Don & Deweys Farmer John, Herby Joes Smokestack Lightnin’ oder Chuck Berrys Brown Eyed Handsome Man wechseln sich in Ihren Sets mit ner Menge eigener Songs ab, die durch die Reihe weg klingen, als wären sie in irgendwo zwischen Texas, Chicago und New York in den Jahren zwischen 1949 und 1960 entstanden.

Anders als viele Bands in diesem Genre verzichten Cat Lee King and His Cocks aber auf Trompete, Saxophone usw.. Stattdessen überzeugt ihr Rhythm & Blues neben dem Piano mit zwei messerscharfen Gitarren und treibenden Bass/Drum-Rhythmus. Verantwortlich dafür sind Tommy J. Croole (Leadguitar), Sidney Ramone (Rhythmguitar), LuckyLuciano (Kontrabass) und Rene Lieutenant (Drums).

Alle fünf sind in den frühen 20ern und haben bereits einiges erreicht (u.a. beim Rhythm Riot in Camber Sands/England). Doch sie haben noch viel mehr vor! Ihr erstes Album erschien 2018 auf Rhythm Bomb Records, 'Cock Tales'!
