"Another british rockabilly supergroup. The members in this group are from several already legendary rockabilly and swing bands. Mike Sanchez -piano and vocal (ex.Big Town Playboys), Anders Janes (double bass) played with The Space Cadets, The Senti-Mentals, The Stargazers, Ricky Lee Brawn (drums) played with The Space Cadets, Killer Brew, The Stargazers, Al Nicholls (sax) with Ray Gelato Giants...

On album are twenty songs but only four of them are originals (Lady Of Nagoya, Jump Al Jump, Groovey Geezer and Out Tonight). But songs sound fresh. You can believe me that it was long time ago when I became sick of songs like Long Tall Sally, New Orleans,...but even these covers are great.

Intresting are also covers of T.Rex' 20th Century Boy (featured in a movie Truman Show), Slade's Mama Weer All Crazee Now, Mud's Tiger Feet and Roy Wood's Are you ready to Rock?.

If you like Bill Haley & His Comets, Space Cadets or The Stargazers you're gonna adore it."

Accessible and fun, the Big Six perfects the new swing sound

"Along with Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and Royal Crown Revue, the Big Six deserves it's place among other new Swing bands. The all-star lineup provides jump swing with an addictive rock-n-roll Bill Haley & The Comets backbeat that'll get you out on the dance floor. A must-have. If you ain't moving during 'Lady Of Nagoya', check your pulse...."
