​Peter Egri is part of the Hungarian band Mystery Gang and presents his solo project with 'Under The Memphis Moon'. Peter Egri's website is currently under construction, so not much information can be found about him. This is not an insurmountable problem, because what counts is of course… the music. The album contains 11 tracks, all written by Peter Egri, which already gives a positive impression. That impression is renforceerde when the first track 'Boogie Woogie Mad Man' immediately settles between your ears. A great one-man boogie, built on an extremely clear sounding guitar. Peter has a powerful voice, but he also turns out to be a great guitarist, who knows the beats of the six strings. That is certainly evident in boogie number two, 'Shake Woman'. The power emanating from these recordings is phenomenal. Like it or not, but there's no escaping it. Peter takes you on his trip in genuine fifties boogie style. And what guitar parts! Prick up your ears for ‘Wiggle Baby’ and ‘Run Chicken Run (I'm Comin’)’. Even on his own, Peter rocks the stars in 'Baby That's What I Like', 'Wild And Animalistic', 'Devil Town' and 'Lonely Moon'.
Peter Egri's One Man Boogie '55 shows that you don't have to have a complete band at your disposal to deliver great music. A powerful and dynamic voice, talent on the six strings, a sense of rhythm and the skill to shake original boogies out of your pen, these are the indispensable tools. Properties that Peter Egri all possesses for the full 100%.

The various 'A-Rama' series can welcome a newcomer with 'Boogie-A-Rama'. A boogie rhythm is a blues shuffle originally played on the piano. The structure of the music is percussive strumming in time to set the tempo and is characterized by an uptempo rhythm. Eventually the rhythm and boogie music changed to Western Swing, with fiddle and banjo making their appearance. Boogie and Western Swing in turn mixed to form the genre that would come to be known as rockabilly.
On this first volume, compiler Mark Armstrong introduces us to 28 tracks in the boogie genre.
That the boogie rhythm can appear in many guises and can be produced by more than just piano, you will hear on this compilation. We are already eagerly awaiting what volume 2 will offer us.

​Cliffie Stone made a career in the country, was one of the founders of rockabilly, was a talented songwriter, in-demand session musician and respected A&R man at Capitol Records. In the latter capacity he was the discoverer of Hank Thompson and Tennessee Ernie Ford. Cliffie also made recordings under his own name for the same label.
On this compilation released by Bear Family you get 31 tracks, all recorded between 1947 and 1955. In addition to songs he recorded with Bob Roubian, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Les Gotcher and Jeanne Gayle, this album contains a lot of songs that Cliffie recorded under his own name. Expect Western Swing, hillbilly boogie and rock and roll at the highest level. Naturally, an extensive booklet with information about the artist and the recordings is included.

What a awesome album of the English Haney's Big House'! Great rhythm & blues, jump, swing, western swing, boogie and blues from the fourties and fifties. Highly recommended!

I won’t say more than that Gus Spenos and band are the new Roomful Of Blues. Highly recommended for lovers of good old school jump, swing en boogie. Great album!
