Country,
rockabilly band BR549 have recently released their first full-length
live album "One Long Saturday Night" back in November. The show was
recorded for German television back in 1996 and features the band
promoting their self-titled debut album, which was released one
month prior to this live performance. It captures the band's full, fun,
up-tempo show that is sure to win you over as a fan of their music.
The
nineteen-song set begins with the quick-pace, rockabilly original "Even
If It's Wrong," before heading into their first cover song of the
evening, "Long Gone Lonesome Blues." They slow down for the bluegrass
feel of "Heartaches By The Number," but only for a moment as they get
you back up on your feet, swinging to the "Hometown Boogie" and "Honky Tonk
Boogie." The band add their country twang to Gram Parsons' "Big Mouth
Blues" and then swing along to the "Cherokee Boogie." The set closes
with the quick-paced rockabilly original "One Long Saturday Night" and
the knee-slapping, hand-clapping rhythm of "Take Me Back To Tulsa." The
disc adds four bonus tracks, recorded in Kumamoto, Japan in 1996.
Highlights include the short two-minute, country swing of "Hillbilly
Thang" and the BR549 sped-up version of the classic "Sweet Georgia
Brown."
Also available
with the CD is a DVD of the show, both were released through Bear
Family Productions. To find out more about BR549 and their new live
