El Toro Records / ETCD6091

From Forli, Italy, here we have The Same Old Shoes and this CD, just released by El Toro Records, in which they deliver great old-school Rockabilly, 1950's style, along its 36 minutes and a few seconds.

Fourteen songs have been included, with a fifty-fifty share between songs penned by Dario Magnani (singer and rhythm guitar of the band) and well selected covers. All 14 songs seem very good to me and are well played. If I have to choose one among their own compositions, my pick would be "Can't Get Enough", with "That's A Ball" probably close behind. Regarding the covers, Lattie Moore's "Juke Box Johnnie" would be the one.

A record made to dance, with most songs' rhythm going from midtempo to uptempo, leaving very little room for "slows". This record is for party, not for relax, if you see what I mean.

A very good record from these Italian guys and a very good job from El Toro Records, discovering us such a great Rockabilly band. Warmly recommended.
