Jerry King and the Rivertown Ramblers

Jerry King & The Rivertown Ramblers are built like the prototypical Rockabilly crew - stand-up bass, shuffling beats, soulful, twangy lead vocals, call-and-response back-ups, driving guitar and songs about Brown Eyed women and Devil's Children.

Singer/rhythm guitarist King has the vocal presence of a youthful, ornery Eddie Cochran, his spirited, jumping croon speckled with a barrage of inspired 'C'mons' and hiccups that slap-back with wet, echoing reverb. The group's motor mostly runs at a steady, high-octane pace and that's when they are at their most effective.
