Green Room Blues

Description

Green Room Blues is the sophomore full-length album by the American rockabilly/indie rock band The Deluxtone Rockets, released on Tooth & Nail Records in 2001. The album was produced, recorded, and mixed by Gene Eugene of Adam Again fame and Chris Colbert of Breakfast With Amy fame at The Green Room in Huntington Beach, California. Vocals tracked by Eric Campuzano of The Prayer Chain fame.

The Deluxtone Rockets describe themselves as “swankabilly” blues and had the romping «Rumble With The Devil» on the Cross Rhythms playlist recently. Led by “crooner/howler” and youth pastor Johnny, they cite many influences, but the high energy, rockabilly honky tonk is powered along every second of every track. Each track was written out of a time of “Burning vans, broken relationships, crushed expectations and blood sweat and tears.” As a result each track deals with the gritty reality of life as experienced by the band. This, combined with their gritty sound, makes for a powerful album. The album will be of interest to the fans of rockabilly and an excellent band to see live, though not to everyone’s taste.
