So.

Right now, I've got my Los Straitjackets and Eddie Angel CDs caressing my eardrums. .

I walked up and said "Excuse me sir, are you with the band?" He looked over at me and said "I might be, I might be".

I absolutely love Los but have never seen them live. I recently have been converting my music library to mP3 files and as part of the process I have been re-ripping my CDs and got hung up on Viva! and The Velvet Touch of...For my money they are to two best rock-n-roll instrumental albums of all time. Also if you've never heard it, Tis The Season is my favorite Christmas music ever, I even listen to it out of season on occasion. And on a side note, another CD that I blew the dust off of is Just Rockin' & Rollin' by Ronnie Dawson which features Eddie Angel as one of the guitarists and is an excellent example of fairly contemporary rockabilly.

I'm not quite as up with Soutern Culture but I worked with a guy who was a big fan and I always liked them but hadn't thought of them in years. I recently purchased an mp3 player and it came with about thirty songs pre-loaded and among them were five from Southern Culture that are really good(in fact I ended up keeping 19 songs from the pre-loads-normally I can't stand them so that was cool, Kevin Pickett & Southern Rain and Saints of State are the two bands I can think of off the top of my head)that come from their The Kudzu Ranch release.
