| Fortunately the daddies of these New Yorkers turned their boys on to SUN
records, Chuck Berry and '50s and '60s music in general. I sure wasn't that
lucky! They dive head on into Gene Summers' Texas rocker "School Of Rock 'n'
Roll" and you can tell they did their homework. They let it rip and continue
the journey down memory lane with Chuck Berry's "Forty Days" (also known by
Ronnie Hawkins). Venturing into the '60s the Greyhounds do "True True
Lovin'", "Choppin' n' Changin'", "Papa Gene's Blues" (Monkeys) and "Sham
Rock". Well done. Back to the '50s Rock 'n' Roll full blast with Jerry Lee's
"I'm On Fire", no piano but the roaring saxophone and hot guitar make up for
that. Hotter than hell the SUN Roy Orbison rocker "Mean Little Mama", then
they explore Country territory with Roger Miller's "Poor Little John" and
rock with Elvis melodic "Paralyzed". They close the set with Ronnie Self's
"Ain't I'm A Dog" and an inspired "Ghost Riders In The Sky". - Courtesy of
