Over the last 20 years Hipbone Slim and the
Kneetremblers have established themselves as a foremost force in the
worlds of rock n roll, garage, beat, surf and all in between. They
have recorded 13 highly acclaimed albums and a whole load of 45s on
labels such as Voodoo Rhythm, Beast, FOLC, and Dirty Water. Not to
mention various other related side-lines and pseudonym releases!
The Kneetremblers are fronted by Hipbone Slim aka Sir Bald on guitar,
vocals and song-writing duties. He is ably assisted by Bash Brand on
hitting things. Bruce’s musical CV is extensive and includes Thee
Milkshakes, Headcoats, Holly Golightly, Masonics, Wreckless Eric and
two albums with Link Wray.
On this release Baldie and Bruce are joined by Gez Gerrard or
Cheeseman or Sleepy Matt Radford on slapping things. You’ll also hear
Spencer 'The Colonel' Evoy (frontman of MFC Chicken) on saxophone and
Slim Cyder on piano on several tracks. Many of these particular tunes
were originally released on vinyl under the semi alter ego ‘Hipbone Slim
and the Crowntoppers'. Thanks also to various other pals from Sir
Bald Diddley and his Ripcurls and/or The Nine Ton Peanut Smugglers
(Kid Wig, Johnny and Barry Temptations) for all your efforts in
trying to make these recordings a little more listenable!
This splendid nay resplendent double CD package brings together no
less than 40 tracks by the ultra-prolific, greatly under-rated,
hardest working band in rock n roll show business.
The 40 recordings included are largely taken from three previous LP
releases; ‘Tremblin' The Blues' and ‘Ain’t Got A Leg To Stand On'
(Both on Beast Records - FR) and ‘The Toppermost Sounds Of' FOLC
Records (ES). The remaining tunes come from a number of 45s on
Monster Mash (NL), Ghost Highway (ES), Martin’s Garage (Slovenia),
Crowntopper (UK) and Migraine (DE) plus the odd compilation album
track. None have been previously released on CD.
On this delightful and luxurious record release you will be treated
to a heady cocktail of rock and roll and rhythm and blues with bits of
rockabilly, surf, soul, garage, mod jazz, doo wop, exotica and zydeco
thrown in for good/bad measure!
40 Terrific Tremblin' Tasty Ones!!! Enjoy!!
