So farewell, James Last - and thanks for all those fabulously naff album covers

Severe water retention, presumably

The two best Elvis sound-alike records ever released

John Lee Hooker's "Boogie Chillen" - the riff that launched a thousand songs

The Fulminators pay tribute to The Marauders' "That's What I Want" - an obscure UK pop classic from 1963

Cecil Ingram Bastardo sprinkles some magic dust over The Fulminators' version of "Train Leaves Here This Morning"

The Fulminators cover "Stampede" - the raucous 1959 instrumental that may very well have been the first surf music single

Fulminators songs are just like buses - here's another one; the bar-room murder ballad, "It's Nothing to Me"

Those crazy cats The Fulminators are back with the rockabilly classic, "Long Black Shiny Car"

"Ace of Spades", "The Passenger" and "Venus" - great rockabilly versions of non-rockabilly songs

The Fulminators revisit Mel Tormé's "Comin' Home Baby" - the coolest song on the planet

So farewell, country star George Jones - you may have hated rockabilly, but you were bloody good at it!

Somebody stop them! The Fulminators cover "Secret Agent Man"

             

The Fulminators are back, this time with a homage to Bo Diddley

           

Chuck Berry cover versions are the best of their kind - here's my Top Ten

What’s always driven Chuck Berry fans mad is his apparent lack of regard for his own music. Dave Edmunds was once approached to produce a new album for the legend, but refused on the grounds that he didn’t want to waste his time on someone who seemed happy to slaughter his own classics live on stage. (The way Berry ignored the fact there were no guitar breaks on the recording of "Let It Rock" really annoyed Edmunds.) 

"Big Iron", "Brand New Cadillac", "Walk of Life" - the latest platters from The Fulminators

"Close Up the Honky Tonks" by The Flying Bastardo Brothers

Return of The Fulminators with "Jamabilly", "Big Ones in Texas", "Matchbox" and "Ziggy's Return"

"Comin' Home Baby", "Long Shot" and three other dynamite tracks from The Fulminators great tracks from The Fulminators

Following on from last post, here’s some more musical silliness, I’m afraid. I haven’t done any recording for the past couple of months and I know how frightfully upset many of you will be about that. So, in order to clear the decks before I get stuck in again, here are a few productions I haven’t previously made available to the clamouring public.
