AMG Review of Black Jacket Racket, Vol. 1

Heather Phares
All Music Guide

As the title suggests, Black Jacket Racket gathers contemporary rockabilly from artists like the Buzzards, Jesse Al Tuscan, Francine, the Honey Dippers, and the Lumberjacks. Asmodeus' "Pushin' Up Daisies," the Bottletones' "Frog Strangler," Reach Around Rodeo's "Psychobilly Band," and the Propellers' "Why Wasn't I Born in Tennessee" are among the highlights of this collection from the international rockabilly underground.
