"I went to Rockabilly night at a small cafe one night where Rip Crason was performing and bought this CD from Rip himself for ten bucks and it was worth every penny! I had no idea who he was until I heard him live and loved everything he played. You can listen to every track on this album and not have to skip ahead because there is nothing on there that's less than amazing. Pick up this CD and catch this guy live if you ever get the chance because he's full of energy and talent."

Rip Carson Rocks !

"If you like that special brand of 50s rock n' roll called "Rockabilly", this CD is for you ! There is not one weak cut on the whole disc. There are some major influences at work here--Johnny Burnette and his Rock n' Roll Trio--Eddie Cochran--Gene Vincent and his Blue Caps--and Elvis' "Sun" period.My only complaint is that the CD package gives so little information about Rip and his band. Some of my friends--also serious rock n' roll/rockabilly fans--were not sure if this music was contemporary, or actually recorded in the 50s. That's how authentic the disc sounds !Mr. Carson--if you ever read this, thank you for keeping the spirit of rockabilly alive. You--Sir--are the "real deal " !Rockabilly fans--when you're "Ready Teddy", order this
" boppin' " CD--as Gene Vincent would have said, you will "jump, giggle and shout" !"

A cut above the rest of the rockabilly guitarists

"Rip Carson possesses a voice as smooth as Big Sandy's, yet more frantci on the level of Gene Vincent, but more musical. His guitar playing is even lyrical, and at the same time rockin', jazz, and swingy. A very musical person, who's fine musicianship is showcased in thsi lovely cd of authentic 50's style rockabilly. Rip Carson & His Twilight trio shine of thsi exellent cd, and it belongs in every rockabilly lovers cd collection."
