5.0 out of 5 stars Rockin' Rockabilly At It's Best, June 7, 2000

How good is this album? Well, it's giving Aimee Mann's "Bachelor #2" a run for it's money as Album of the Year at the (almost) mid-year point. But don't be fooled; this album has very little in common with the New Wave rockabilly of Billy's early 80's output, the country leanings that he has persued since '85's "Try Me" right up thru last year's "All Night Long" or his 90's pop sensabilities with Fleetwood Mac. So how would I classify this album? As flat-out, no-nonsense rock, dressed up with an earthy roots/rockabilly sheen. Mind you, Billy has never sounded better, both musically and vocally. There's an all out, no-holes-barred energy to this release that has not been there in the past. Said energy is evident on the lilting "What A Woman Feels", the barn burner "Life And Death" and the sly toetapper "Got A Little Rock In My Shoe (Can't Stop)". Other strong cuts include "Love Me Back" and "To Get Next To You". The only sour note for me on the CD is "Highway Of Love", a semi-duet with Bekka Bramlett; it just strikes me as an outtake from 1997's (very!) weak "Bekka and Billy" CD. I would have much rather had a killer ballad with Christine McVie along the lines of 1985's "It Ain't Over" or the 1990 Fleetwood Mac gem "Do You Know", one of the best "undiscovered" recordings of the last twenty-five years. But that's nitpicking. This is a great album, full of hip-shaking, boot-stomping (and we're talking black, greasy, leather engineer boots vs. armadillo cowboy ones!) rock. Don't let this one slip thru the cracks!

5.0 out of 5 stars Billy Rocks!, May 17, 2000

Billy Burnette's new album sound like it was recorded by his famous father and uncle. In fact Billy dedicates the recording to Dorsey and Johnny.

For those of you who were expecting a country album, think again. This album rocks from beginning to end and even includes backup vocals from the inimitable Bekka Bramlett who partnered with Billy on their one and only album strangely titled "Bekka & Billy".

Energetic '50's-style sound will make you want to jump in the old convertible and go cruisin'. Billy had his hand in writing all but one of the fine songs in this collection. Plenty of fun stuff.
