Yuichi & the Hilltone Boys are from a very special place... Osaka,
Tennessee. The Japanese city meets and greets the great state of Tennessee
making rockabilly bop their own hometown sound. While you won't be
able to find this location on a map, you will easily hear the wild
west and the hilltop hollers in this modern rockin' outfit. A bit
of country croonin', a touch of blue ballads with righteous rockabilly
have been combined to create a marvellous set of songs. Just three
pieces are able to make up this band of terrific players. Yuichi on
vocals and rhythm guitar has a sweet sure sound that has enough sorrow
to remind you of early Sun sounds. Kenji, who has mastered lead guitar
in a style that many will envy, gives this band its twang that is
a treat. He is able to swing the steel that will have you thinking
about west Texas honky tonks. Osamu rounds up the line up with bass
playing that is truly tops. He keeps the beat boppin', the trail blazing
and slaps the stand up so you know he means business. Yuichi & The
Hilltone Boys may be from a place not yet mapped, but they will be
pride of place on your player. They are Japanese in nationality while
being universal in their songs of love, loss and dancing all night
long. The three talented are a top trio travelling town to town to
take you to treatsville. Yuichi & The Hilltone Boys are not to be
missed and with this recording you won't be without them wherever
you happen to be. |
