If he appears Slim Sandy since he brightens up Vancouver with his Hillbilly Boppers, he remains one of the irreducible Sandmark brothers from Montreal. Peter, in this case. Never gone, Eric the brother – and the sidekick of the time of Ray Condo and his Hard Rock Goners, then of the Crazy Rhythm Daddies – plays in town every week. Both thus propagate from west to east their kind of hillbilly, a little skiffle, a little shuffle, always swinging, with an ageless freshness and an authenticity worthy of Bob Wills. The eleven titles of this delightful new album draw from the inexhaustible sources of pleasant music from the 1940s and 1950s: Hillbilly Fever, Rompin’ and Stompin’, that says it all. We know that with singer and queen of the washboard Willa Mae, drummer Soda Pop and bassist Lonely Mancini (and special guest Bombo Lolo on steel guitar), we’re going to snap our fingers, nod the conductor and dance in his boots. See you at L’Escogriffe on August 12th.
