Ladies and gentlemen, Pike Cavalero has done it again. Terrific EP, singing again in English, by the way.

Four songs of astonishing good Rockabilly and Rock'n'Roll, absolutely top quality as he uses to. Three of the songs, penned by Pike Cavalero himself, can be filed under the "Rockabilly" tag without too many doubts, while the fourth one ("Cavalero Stomp") is an Instro-Rock'n'Roll composed by Francis Beard, who plays lead guitar in this record. The rest of band members are Pepe Lee playing double-bass and Jesús López who plays drums: usual suspects and top quality, yes sir.

I'm absolutely sure that Pike Cavalero is one of the best 50's style Rockabilly singers that we can get to listen to all around Europe... Yes, for me there is no doubt about that and this EP is clear proof: all killers, no fillers with, in my very own oppinion, "Twinkle, Twinkle (Pretty Star)" shinning slightly above the rest.

By the way, the sleeve notes have been written no more, no less that by DJ Del Villarreal.

Absolutely recommended, as all previous records by Pike Cavalero. Easy as that.
