The Krewmen – Ramblin' / I'1000 Gonna Get It
Lost Moment LM024
The Krewmen were one of the best ring to sally from the british rockabilly scene of the mid-eighties along with Ruddy Hot'due north'Blue, The Riverside Trio and The Blue Rhythm Boys to name but a few. The band was formed by bassist Tony McMillan in 1982, showtime as a rockabilly combo. Subsequently a few changes, the Krewmen found its all-time line-upwards with : Tony McMillan on bass, Jimmy Faye on drums and a young Carl Sonny Leyland on guitar, harmonica, piano and vocals. Together they pushed the band toward a more bluesy sound. Ramblin' is a great "delta-dejection meets Chicago blues" stuff. The electricity is hither just you still have a big state flavour. This tune shows what a groovy slide guitarist is Carl Leyland, too bad he doesn't play it anymore. The b-side, "I'm gonna go it" is a Jazz Gillum vocal. Listening to this version shows that the Krewmen were more a "cover band". They play this song and make it their ain. The song, the voice and the harp are clearly bluesy, simply the way McMillan slaps his bass and the scorchy guitar await toward rockabilly. Allow'southward call information technology rockabilly blues.The ring recorded an EP and this single with this line-upwards, both on lost moment. Then they disbanded and soon subsequently Tony McMillan came back, this fourth dimension on guitar, with a new version of the Krewmen. Carl Leyland and Guess Faye were no longer here and the sound of the twenty-four hour period was "modernistic rockabilly" to soon evolve into psychobilly. Carl Leyland later moved to the USA and became the famous piano histrion we know and Fahy joined Get Smart . The "original" Krewmen were an amazing band and it'due south really pitiful they didn't last long enough to release a full length anthology but Lost Moment re-released this legendary recordings on a CD called "Klassic Tracks From 1985!" (LMCD054) and you can find some other Krewmen recordings on Carl Sonny Leyland's album "I Like Boogie Woogie" (On The Hill OTHRCD 001). Expect for them, they definititely worth it.

The Krewmen – Into the Tomb
Lost Moment Records – LMLP 014 [1987]
Let Loose – Should I Stay or Go – Devil'due south Girl – Public Enemy Number One – Hava Nagila – Curse of the Pharaohs – Solid Gilt Easy Activity – Hostage – I'yard Not Dead – Swamp Society Ball
Third and terminal release with the archetype Psychobilly line-up of the Krewmen (Tony Mc Millan on guitar, Mark Cole on vocals, Dominic Parr on drums and Jason Thornton on double bass).
The sound hardens a chip compared to the Adventure and Sweetness Dreams with a fast paced cover of the Clash's Should I Stay or Should I Become (a song that was heavily covered by Psychobilly bands at one signal). Other covers are T-Rex Solid Gold Activity and a Dick Dale inspired version of the traditionnal Hava Naguila.
All in all it's a solid album, though maybe a fiddling less essential than the commencement two albums.
The Krewmen – Plague of the Dead
Lost Moment [1988] – Reissue Part Records – PART-CD 6114-001 [2014]
Plague of the Dead – I'm Not Your Stepping Stone – Scream of the Banshees – Jeanie Jeanie Jeanie – What'due south Incorrect – I Can't Stop – Take a Niggling More than – The Clock – Fable of the Piper – Do You lot Wanna Bear on – Beat the Devil – My Generation
Ane can distinct three main periods in the history of the Krewmen. The first one was the Rockabilly-blues years that saw the release of two singles with Carl Sonny Leyland. Next they changed their style to psychobilly with Marker Cole on vocals and the recordings of iii classic psychobilly albums (the Take a chance of, Sweet Dreams and Into the Tomb). Cole somewhen left in 1987 and Tony McMillan, then guitar role player took over the vocal duties and came with a new line-up including Steve Piper on drums and a Mark Shush.
The sound changed with the line-up too, getting harder and including different elements than Psychobilly and Rockabilly like metal, punk rock, glam rock. "Plague Of The Expressionless" combines all those influences. The choice of the covers reveals this orientation and McMillan's varied tastes. From Eddie Cochran'due south Jeanie, Jeanie, Jeanie to Gary Glitter'south Do You Wanna Touch via The Who's My Generation and Steppin' Stone (Paul Revere, The Monkees just also covered by The Sexual activity Pistols). Tony quotes classic rockers like Chuck Berry and Elvis for influence just he also adds Alice Cooper, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Jimmi Hendrix and Sex Pistols to the list.
It wasn't easy to follow Cole and their first iii albums, only McMillan succeeds to renew the band and "Plague Of The Expressionless" contains some very good moments like "Fable Of The Piper", "Take A Little More than" and the previously mentioned covers. It's also quite refreshing to see a ring that doesn't intendance virtually boundaries.
Then once again it's agood task from Part Record to reissue this album (with interesting booklet that contains press clips). Hopefully they'll release the remainder of the ring's discography in the near future. One can only regret the label didn't include the not-album b-sides released at the aforementioned time every bit bonus.
The Krewmen – Power
Lost Moment LMLP 021 [1990]
Devils Lair – Miranda – Undead – The Rats – Anymore – Stone – Go Lost – 2 Souls – Knight Moves – Dorsum To The Brawl
Little by little, fans of the Krewmen saw them adding more and more hard core elements to their music and slowly driblet the rockabilly idiom out of their sound. This musical position culminates with Ability, which is patently hard-roce with heavy and distorted guitars, hard pounding drums with breaks, raspy voice and powerful slap bass. Some elements are even strictly heavy metal / hard rock with tatseless guitar like Knight Moves.
It's still very well produced and play and features ecellent tunes like Dorsum to the Ball a follow upward to Swamp Club Ball from Into the Tomb, but far from the traditionnal psychobilly audio of the iii albums released with Mark Cole.
