BILLY BACON AND THE FORBIDDEN PIGS - STILL SMOKIN AFTER 20 YEARS CD
TRIPLE X
$5.00
Culled from Billy Bacon's 20-year odyssey with various Pigs lineups, this 21-song anthology provides the perfect introduction to a potent club act that has surprisingly stayed under the mainstream radar.
Bacon possesses an appealing flair for imbuing every song - including rockabilly scorchers "Red Dress" and "Little Town Fool" - with a heartfelt dose of Tex-Mex and blues. Whether nicking the Fabulous Thunderbirds' vibe for party rockers "Battle with the Bottle" and "I'm a Fool" or latching onto Louis Prima style jump and swing during "When It's Cold Outside" and "Jump for Jive," he sounds timelessly authentic.
