DEE LANNON
And The Angels Sing (On The
Hill Records)
Skip was in the studio in 1997 with Dee to produce this 4
song EP. This is the bomb for Skip's rockabilly guitar
style, which borders on Blue Note jazz. Howard Greene (drums) and Russell Scott (slap
bass) round out the group. The record is available through On The Hill Records, a Japanese label, but
Hepcat and other roots-rock mail order houses should be carrying it.
SAMMY MASTERS:
Everybody Digs Sammy Masters (Dionysus)
This is the comeback disc by that rockabilly legend (who
hadn't recorded rockabilly since 1957). Released by Dionysus Records March 20, 1998. SH
produced and played guitar, Sammy sings, Ray Campi slapped the bass,Deke Dickerson, on
rhythm guitar, and Howard Greene played snare drum. All live, all analog.

RAY CAMPI:
Train Rhythm Blue (Dionysus)
This SH-produced Ray Campi disc is a real treat -- the
bass-slappin' Texas rockabilly legend snaps, crackles, and bops through a program of
rockabilly, honky-tonk and country rock like never before. Skip takes some serious
guitar solos, and brought in a few other guitarists as well -- Dave Alvin, Tony
Gilkyson, and Greg Leisz. D.J. Bonebrake on drums, and Stan Ridgway on harmonica. This
is Ray Campi like you've never heard him before.
