If the name of Peter
Baylor is not familiar to
you, you have probably
heard his guitar before.
He played with bands like
The Dancehall Racketeers,
The Starliners and the
Flatfoot Shakers. You can
hear him on Deke
Dickersons ep
Dekes Down
Under recorded
during his tour of
Australia. This is his
first album under his
name but hes
playing for more than 20
years now.
The album opens with the
infectious rhythm of
Roadhouse Rodeo
with amazing guitar work,
and superb bass and drums.
Ive Got
Troubles On My Mind
is another uptempo
hillbilly jazz tune
featuring a Jimmy Bryant
type of solo from Peter.
Theres also a good
dose of Honky Tonk, from
the rural If Thats
Not Wrong, It Must Be
Right to Dont
Mind Me When I Cry
that could have been sung
by Ray Price via the Hank
Williams influenced
All Night Long.
My favourite being Two
Hearts. But Peter
can rock, the title track
proves it (the rocking
steel guitar on this one
is amazing) as does the
frantic My Baby Was
Born To Rock. There
are many more gems on
this platter for you to
discover, a cajun song (When
Grandma Get High), tasty
instrumentals (going from
Les Paul / Arthur Smith
to Eddie Cochran) and if
thats not enough to
convince you (what else
do you need?), its
been recorded at the
legendary Preston studio
to get that warm and
authentic sound we all
love. Highly recommended.
