I don’t know enough about The LeRoi Brothers, because this six song EP is great! I’ve always liked it and do pull it out for an occassional spin. I can’t get over how good it sounds. It’s perfect, everything just punches right through the mix, super snapping snare. I was only 17 or 18 when this came out and you can bet there was lot of air guitar sessions with Forget About The Danger…Think Of The Fun blaring. They list it as an LP on their site, but it seems too short for that. I wish I had more of their stuff, and I’m gonna start looking for it.
This can only be called Rock and Roll.
Don’t remember ever hearing this. When you say rock and roll; what’s the closest popular band soundwise?
Hey, I saw them at the time here in Austin, and they rocked it like it sounds. This is an EP, not an LP. EP stands for Extended Play – not long enough to be an LP (Long-Playing) Record – but it was one of my all-time favorites of the rockabilly revival in the Austin scene at the time. Stevie Ray, Los Fabulosos (Fabulous Thunderbirds), Marcia Ball, Little Charlie Sexton, The Big Boys, Joe Ely, and Blues and Country and Jazz like Extreme Heat (who sadly I can’t find on any recording anywhere). Austin was an eclectic mix of the best of everything before it became yuppie land. We had the best, but as soon as you call something paradise, someone with money moves in and ruins it with their selfish greed. Oh well, at least I can remember when it WAS awesome and fun.
