Let’s introduce Cousin Harley for us Europeans, first i’d
like to say that this album wasn’t sent to me by their label. I’ve written
this album review simply because they so much deserve attention!
CH’s consists of Paul Pigat (A.k.a. Cousin Harley), guitarpicker and
songwriter extraordinaire, a big force in the Canadian rockabilly scene.
Last solo album is titled ‘Boxcar Campfire’ als also frontman of the Paul
Pigat Jazztrio. Apart from sitting in as a guitarman for bluesman Jim Byrnes
he also made a couple of very well balanced jazz, rockabilly and fingerstyle
guitarinstruction dvd’s. Keith Picot; Swing/jumpblues doublebassplayer (like
a true rockabilly ought to play of course). For readers who are doublebass
fanatics; This man you have to have seen and heard to believe what he’s
capable of. Not one of those bassplayers who have to stand on their bass or
lift it up above their head and such, he won’t need that kind of
showmanship, trust me, Picot swings his butt off, and possibly yours while
he’s at it! Last and certainly not the least is Jesse Cahill. Highly
acclaimed Canadian drummer, especially in the jazz scene over there. Played
with a lot of jazzmusicians, including “Fathead” Newman (Ray Charles
hornblower).
Cheers, Angel
