I'm Hooked Audio CD – CD, December 8, 2009

After releasing some of today's finest rockabilly records, Roy Kay and his two partners in crime (Mike Geglia on guitar and Robin Cady on double bass) decided to try something new. They added drums (played by Aaron Mlasko) and a suberp rockin' piano, giving them a fuller sound and a more rock'n'roll flair. The piano and Ray's catchy melodies (he wrote 11 out of the 12 songs of this album) also evoke the recordings of Kenny Parchman and Carl Mann too. The whole thing is rounded by solid backup vocals, some in a doo-wop style that work very well. Tony Laborie (The Top Hands, Rattled Roosters, Ray Condo) plays steel on some tunes adding a Bill Haley's Saddlemen feel to "How It's Done" (that also features fine question/answer vocals) and a straight hillbilly style to "Think Of Me".Fred "Virgil" Turgis - Jumpin' From 6 to 6
