With this their second CD , Mr. Whiz keep exploring their unique brand
of a style that this spanish trio have proudly named hillbilly swing.
This term --already used in the late 1940s by western swing bandleader
Curley Williams-- refers in this case to a one-of-a-kind blend of
rockabilly, hillbilly, and western swing that has become Mr. Whiz's
trademark. Their music is a perfect mixture of their varied influences
-- the rockabilly side of Carl Perkins, the honky tonk style of Hank
Williams, the colourful western swing of Bob Wills, the finger-pickin'
of Merle Travis, and even the nonchalant, jazzy swing of Fats Waller
are but a few examples. |
