| Singles Album, The Barnshakers Goofin' Records, GRCD 6126
Who doesn't know The Barnshakers? It's quite impossible not to have heard of these great Emperors of the North. Based in Finland, The Barnshakers really cruised the globe, touring in the USA, Europe, Russia, Australia and Japan. Through the years the band backed up numerous artists, like the most delicious Marti Brom, Hank Thompson, Narvel Felts, Hayden Thompson, Alvis Wayne, Johnny Carroll, Sanford Clark, Huelyn Duvall and Darrel Higham, to name but a few. So to remind us that the boys also record precious little gems in their own right, Goofin Records releases this Singles Album, 22 songs from every vinyl platter the Barnshakers released from 1993 up to now. The songs are ordered chronologically, so you really get a fine impression over the last decade. The last two songs are previously unissued, so for the collectors who have all the vinyl versions, this could be a reason to buy this CD, not only to save your precious wax, but also to complete your collection. Is it a coincidence Goofin Records releases this great collection just before X-mas? (there's also two boppin' Santa songs amongst the 22 songs). Who cares? I bet you wouldn't mind finding this Singles Album underneath your X-mas tree. At this very moment, the Barnshakers are working on their new CD which is due for the end of 2005, so untill than we can enjoy this great compilation.
