    rockabilly

    From the first note, on the song "Honky Tonk Rollin' Fool," it's obvious where these boys come from musically. With a pure rockabilly angle, and some rich easy-on-the-ears production, this band thanks everyone from Garth Brooks to Starflyer 59 in the liner notes. Perhaps one of the things that makes this genre stand out are the guitar tones, and The Calicoes don't fail in bringing about what you'll hope to hear. The vocals are also awash with the expected 50's drawl, bringing to mind, of course, bands like the Stray Cats, et al. "Rice Burner" is a quick stepping instrumental, with a few foreign sounds thrown in. For ordering info, write: 9121 Atlanta Ave, Ste. #237, Huntington Beach CA 92646-6309
