HIPBONE SLIM AND THE KNEETREMBLERS
TREMBLIN' (DIRTY WATER RECORDS)
label:
DIRTY WATER RECORDS
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 (MFC Chicken frontman) 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 rather 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 45rpms on Monster Mash (N), Ghost Highway (ES), Martin's Garage (SLO), Crowntopper (UK) and Migraine (D) 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, doowop, exotica and zydeco thrown in for good/bad measure! 40 Terrific Tremblin' Tasty Ones!!! Enjoy!! 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.
