5.0 out of 5 stars Crackajacks - Wild Rockabilly from Down Under, December 2, 2004

This review is from: Rockabilly Ricochet (Audio CD)

'Long Blond Hair' by Johnny Powers is a Rockabilly classic, so by rights, any cover version is totally unnessesary. There's an exception to every rule so they say, and The Crackajacks cover of this songs proves the point. Maybe it's because it comes from the Punk Rock era - but somehow they manage to inject energy and attitude whilst staying true to the original.
The remainder of the album is pretty standard early 80s Rockabilly with a few gems shining out - but the superb 'Long Blond Hair'(their debut single) is unmatched. This track alone makes the album a must-have, with the remainder being enjoyable if not outstanding.
