Rockin' the 229 by Rollin Records and Bopflix

Rollin Records is probably my favorite modern record label that is putting out records and CDs at the moment. Neil sent me their promo DVD from their show they did in 2010, and I'm hoping someone will send me this one. Oh hell, I think I will just break down and buy it! You can order DVDs, CDs and records directly from the website: Rollin Records

I had the opportunity to meet Chris Magee, the producer, director, and editor of all the Bopflix videos while in the UK. It's amazing so much talent could be had in someone so young. Bopflix is responsible for the Documentary about the Rockabilly Rave, "Havin' a Ball" and also the great videos put out by Jack Rabbit Slim (Kitten with a Whip and Wolf Call). 

This DVD features some of my buddies over in the UK, and I look forward to seeing the interviews, in addition to seeing the performances of these amazing bands.

Don't forget to turn off the music player before you play the video!

A break from travel blogs...let's talk music! Keith Turner and the Southern Sounds

My host is Scotland, Keith Turner, is not just a dear friend, he's also a talented musician, with several bands. He has just released his first solo project (well, not exactly solo, it's him and some very talented musicians backing him) on Rollin Records. Rollin has some of my favorite bands on their label, like the Excellos, The Playboys, The Blue Mambas, and another band with Keith singing, the Frettones.

I am really digging this new CD Keith put out. It's got a lot of blues, but also some rockin' style tunes, and even an old rock-steady cover, done rockabilly style. Don't forget to turn off the music player on the right before you play the video.

Enjoy this preview of Keith's new Record
