CD of 2008!!!!“We had many contenders but this album came out on top
when we received it a few weeks ago. Great songs, great band, great
musicians...it’s got it all. Get yours now!â€
- Martin Vowels, RootsCD.com"Best Young Band (Green Bay 2007):
... with three female singers fronting a five-piece band out of Chicago...put on sizzling shows."
Jeff Ash, Green Bay Press-Gazette"The small ballroom could barely contain another blinding discovery, (Del Moroccos), fronted by the charismatic Gabrielle, with two girl back-up singers and husband Jimmy Sutton on lead guitar, with a full backing including twin saxes and keyboard on a set that ran from Ronnie Dawson's "Action Packed" to Etta James' "I'd Rather Go Blind."
John Howard, UK Rock".....(the Del Moroccos) repped for Chicago well, blurring the lines between rockabilly and early-60s soul, without the narrow-minded myopia that sinks most newer 'billy acts."
(James Porter, Time Out Chicago)"(The Del Moroccos) was a great new (to myself) band lead by Gabrielle, the wife of Jimmy Sutton backed up by another two girl singers and a full band including twin saxes and keyboard. This was blazing stuff with a selection of songs ranging from 'Id rather Go Blind' to Ronnie Dawson's 'Action Packed'. This is another band we have to get over to Europe as soon as possible."
