It is a really good album!!!
Here's mah review...
Miss Pearl – by Boz Boorer (release date: 23rd September, Vibrant Records)
Having not released any of his own work since 1996's darn spiffy "My Wild Life", Boz - who never misses the opportunity to record with his many musical pals - had a treasure trove to dig through to spoil us with on "Miss Pearl".
One of those pals happens to be Adam Ant, who appears on "Jungle Rock". If you can find their rendition of "Save The Gorilla" (a simian take on Adam's highwayman theme tune), you'll be pleased to know that "Jungle Rock" is far more together, but no less ridiculously joyous.
There follows a veritableCelebrations box of rockabilly folk, playing on tracks like "Crash The Party" and "Rock'n'Roll Ruby". "Jitterbop Baby" is from a Rockats/Polecats/Blonde Bombers all night session – and Boz can't remember who else was on electric guitar with him. Apparently, "it was that kind of night!" More Polecattiness appears on "Rockaway Beach", the most recent of the tracks, featuring Tim Polecat as well as Dean Micetich (Kid Rocker / The Kaisers) and Big Sandy. Long-time Boz collaborator Steve Hooker turns up on two tracks, in an alternate take of "In the Witchin' Hour" from Steve's "Boptown" album, and "Dollar Short". Says Boz of playing on Steve's albums; "always a pleasure, never a chore."
A fab 16 track album featuring tracks that have only ever appeared on obscure EPs or which have lingered unheard for some years – great for completists and bounty hunters alike.
