The Bellfuries - Just Plain Lonesome [Limited Bonus Edition] (2011)

Johnny Cash's original back up band, The Tennessee Two, was just lead guitar and stand up bass. Similarly, the Bellfuries led by the fine, Elvis-inspired vocals of Joey Simeone, have guitar, slap bass, lead guitar and a fifties sounding steel guitar by "guest" Billy Horton. Great stuff, no doubt about it. Extra points for their choice three cover songs- written by Webb Pierce, Dion DiMucci and Sam Cooke. The rest Simeone wrote, but they sound as if they could have been written 50 years ago and that spells rockabilly to me. Get your pomade out, hit the dance floor and take this record to your next party.
