Get your dancing shoes on, you are gonna need them!
If you like rock ’n’ roll and/or rockabilly then The
Cellmates are a band worth checking out. Hailing from Bratislava
this talented group are the holders of the Rockabilly Award handed out in Germany .
The Cellmates have performed in many countries including Austria ,
Germany and Slovakia .
Twelve songs complete this upbeat and rather lively offering entitled ROCKABILY
FEELING. Roll Down The Road is quite
modern in sound and also quite heavy. It is not just the singing that is great;
the music is outstanding and quite brilliant at times. This opening number will
have your feet tapping in time with the beat in no time at all. It is catchy
and quickly draws you in, making you long to hear more. Boppin’ Around The Town is a lively upbeat song with plenty of
music mixed in with the vocals. Teenage
Boogie has a great fifties sound. Charming and upbeat this is one of those
songs that will make you want to get up and dance around the room. Listening to
this album makes you long to see The Cellmates live. Pink Pedal Pushers has quite a modern sound but is still thoroughly
rockabilly in style. Summer Of 69 is
a cover of the classic rock/pop hit. The Cellmates turn this memorable hit into
a rockabilly song with ease. It sounds amazing and really fresh and new like
you are hearing the words for the first time. C’mon Everybody gets similar treatment. Already a classic rock ’n’
roll song The Cellmates just put their own stamp on it. Can’t Sleep At Night is stunning and rather charming. A slow song
with delicate vocals. This is quite possibly the stand out song on the album
and one you will want to hear over and over. Rockabilly Feeling is of course the title track. This is a
traditional rockabilly song with plenty of energy and beat. Baby Don’t sees some great instrumental
music blended with The Cellmates excellent vocals. Blue Moon Of Kentucky is another cover. Again done with style and
finesse this song sounds fresh and vibrant. Speedy
Race is an upbeat, quite heavy rock ‘n’ roll song. The album ends on a
wonderful high note with Cellmate’s Rock.
Once again this is an upbeat rockabilly number that will make you want to
get up and take to the dance floor. This is an energy packed album that
deserves several listens.
