Lee Rocker - Bulletproof (2003) FLAC

Four years after his successful live disc, Lee Rocker returns with a studio set that equals anything he recorded nearly two decades earlier with his most noted resumé entry, the Stray Cats. Sporting a full yet stripped-down, authentic sound, doghouse bassist Rocker, along with a tough trio, burn through 14 tracks in under 45 minutes, all but four of which are originals from either Rocker or bandmate Tara Novick. Accurate to its '50s roots yet utilizing contemporary recording techniques, Rocker's retro rockabilly shimmers with tight playing, great songs, and a no-frills approach that updates yet doesn't dilute his Sun-era references. The two-guitar backup fleshes out the sound, lending it a fuller, broader context than the three-piece Cats, while maintaining a slashing, near-primitive attack.
