The Salt Flat Trio were a taditionnal drummerless rockabilly trio from Perth, Australia. With great musicians and a singer who sounded a bit like a hillbilly Eddie Cochran the future looked bright and promising for them. Sadly the untimely death of Tyson Feifer their lead singer stopped them in full rise. This album features 16 solid rockin' songs, half are from the pen of the band's double bassist Jay MvIvor and the remaining tracks are covers of Billy Joe Shaver, Hank Williams, Rocky Burnette, Bob Luman, Johnny Horton and Macy Skipper.
Two songs feature a steel guitar for a more a more rural bop feel and a piano can be heard on the frantic Be Bop Baby. Recommended if you like High Noon and Wayne Hancock.
