Twang Gang - The Bandar Abbas Express
Variert og spennende. Knallbra lyd og flere spennende og utradisjonelle valg gjør dette til årets norske utgivelse!
Dwight Yoakam - Dwight Sings Buck
Etter at Buck døde er det ingen som gjør disse låtene bedre enn Dwight. En opplagt utgivelse kanskje, men ikke desto mindre velkommen.
Dwight Yoakam - Blame The Vain
Dwights beste siden debuten. Han byttet ut hele bandet før innspillingen, men Pete Anderson og co. savnes faktisk ikke. Forvent denne også på neste års liste!
The Moonstompers - Hispeed Daddy-O
Svensk trio (de var kvartett da skiva ble spillt inn) det virkelig svinger av! Likte denne så godt at jeg booket bandet til Trysils første rockabillyfestival, Rockaround Rumble #1.
Snakebite - Still A Lot Of Rockin´
Skandinavias tøffeste teddyboys ga ut sin beste skive ifjor. Knalltøfft!
Brian Setzer & The Nashvillains - Red, Hot & Live
Brians studio skiver har vært av varierende kvalitete de senere åra, men på denne live-skiva gnistrer det av "The King Of The Cats!"
Cyclones - Street Altered
Knalltøff punkabilly som blir bedre og bedre!
Bruce Springsteen - Magic
The Boss på rocker’n igjen. Svarte riktignok ikke helt til forventningene, men den har likevel gått jevnt. Jeg må jo lære meg låtene så jeg kan synge med på Valle Hovin til sommeren!
Slim Jim Phantom & Darrel Higham - Kat Men
Min favoritt skive med Darrel!
