LOS HIGH TOPS Stake Their Claim
(CD Review)
... The title rockabilly track literally jumps out of the speakers. "I saw my baby's note today in pieces on the floor...". Yep, looks like she's been lost to Texas radio. This song ticks along through some intricate guitar work, including harmonics. Guitar harmonics in a rockabilly song? Yes, Los High Tops are not just doing this as a three-chords and cloud of dust band.
The opening three tracks are all rockabilly songs with flourishes that keep them from being "just rockabilly." The fourth, "Hotwire," is a surf instrumental for those of us who are tired of surf instrumentals because it's mercifully not a Dick Dale or Ventures rehash; it clocks in at a mere 1:34 but is so rich that it stands up to repeated listenings, a trait that can escape 99% of surf instrumentals. This track begs to be on vinyl, so the band did the next best thing and tacked the sound of a needle entering a groove onto the front of the song, thinking that a CD needs a little hiss and crackle sometimes....
