In their lives and music, The Treniers, led by twins Claude and Clifford, were the embodiment of wild good times. But their raucous, often outrageous, behavior, as entertaining as it was, was only a hint of the magic they... more » wrought in their music.

R&B Evolves Into Rock and Roll

"The Treniers broke out of the R&B mold with their "big beat" music and this album displays them at their rockin' best!
Great songs and a wild honking sax make this a fun album.
A minus is the lack of decent liner notes but this is more than made up for by the great sound quality of this recording."
