Mickey Keller & The Spitfires We're Gonna Ride! (LP)

(Tessy Records) 16 tracks

This band has dedicated itself heart and soul to authentic 50s rock'n'roll. This begins with the album's artwork and runs consistently through all areas.
The classic three-piece line-up consists of Mickey Keller, Frank Stompin' Wolfman and Matze.
They play on self-built tube amplifiers with the sound and look of the time and no compromises were made in the studio either.
The recordings were made at Black Shack Recordings in Calw. Only vintage technology is used there, the recording is done live, i.e. with the whole band in one room and without digital gimmicks. Is the effort worth it? Yes! The album sounds like it's from the golden age of young rock'n'roll. As if it had miraculously arrived from there in a time machine (DeLorean?) in the year 2024. This is great cinema. Fans of 1950s rock'n'roll & hillibilly bop can't get past this album.
