1.0 out of 5 stars Not the real Refreshments, July 13, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Are You Ready (Audio CD)

This CD is a total waste. It is not the Refreshments that many of you know from Fizzy, Fuzzy, Big & Buzzy or the Bottle & the Fresh Horses. So, don't bother buying it, just stick to Roger Clyne's new band, The Peacemakers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Rockpile-style modern rockabilly from Sweden..., August 30, 2000

Confusingly, there are two bands named "The Refreshments." This record comes from the "other" band, a Swedish rockabilly group that features Rockpile's Billy Bremner on guitars and vocals. If you're a fan of Nick Lowe/Dave Edmunds/Rockpile era rock, then you'll love this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars First Class Rock'n Roll from Sweden, January 11, 2002

Yes, it can be a little confusing, there was a while ago three bands named the "Refreshments" but this is actually the real thing! This band started out in 1990, I believe, long before the other Refreshments came along! If you like the Dave Edmunds / Rockpile kind of Rock'n Roll, this is an album you must have, this guys got the tightest groove you've ever heard! But I miss their other CD's here on Amazon.com, I believe they have released six albums. By the way, they just got a gold record for this album!
