When They Were A Rockabilly Band . . .,
By Seattle Brat (Seattle, Wa USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: On the Go! (Audio CD)
This is the one to pick up if you want the Big Sandy sound when it was still Rockabilly. It's just better pound for pound than the - also Rockabilly - debut. Plus it's the last album with their great original guitarist, T.K. Smith (who went on to play some fine Hillbilly in The Smith Ranch Boys). I don't see how the other reviewer would call his playing "jazzy". Is Scotty Moore also "jazzy"? Anyway, this is my favorite Big Sandy release period. The albums after this were all more Western Swing (and also excellent - especially, "Jumping From 6 To 6"). Great stuff here! And FYI: This is their SECOND album. The First one was "Fly Rite With Big Sandy And The Fly-Rite Trio" released on Dionysus Records. I'm smart!

Big Sandy's first album!,
By DJ Joe Sixpack (...in Middle America) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
This review is from: On the Go! (Audio CD)
Although clearly springing out of the rockabilly revival scene, this disc hints at the stylistic diversity that'd drive the Fly-Rite sound for years to come. Plenty of catchy '50s cover tunes, but also a lot of swell Big Sandy originals which capture the feel perfectly. On the down side, it's rather thinly recorded, and the jazz-ish guitar work gets a little monotonous... But it's still a charming, punchy debut... not as great as their later records, but still pretty cool.
