{"product_id":"gijon-stomp","title":"Gijon Stomp!","description":"Liner Note Author: Mike Mariconda.\u003cbr\u003eRecording information: Circo Perrotti Studios, Gijon, Spain (09\/2007).\u003cbr\u003eSonny Burgess is creeping up on 80 years old, and he's still going as strong as he was when recording for Sun Records in the 1950s. He's touring with a version of his band, the Pacers, and in 2007, he stopped off in a Spanish studio and cut the nine tracks on this album in a single, day-long burst of creative energy. The band is ferocious, with guitar and saxophone solos ripping out of the speakers and Burgess' voice as strong as ever -- on rockers like \"Treat Her Right\" he roars like a lion, while country songs like \"Cold Cold Heart\" find him adopting a richer, fuller singing style. Classic rockabilly slapback echo gives his vocals a vintage sound, while the stinging fuzztone guitar is classic without being retro. The only brand-new piece on the disc, the under-two-minute \"Gijon Breakdown,\" is an instrumental showcase for the band, which lets them cut loose with sandpaper guitar riffing, and raucous, bar-walking saxophone at a tempo that's practically hardcore punk. This is the sound of a bunch of grandfathers ripping it up one side and down the other in a way that would put half the young bands out there to shame. ~ Phil Freeman","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47713630617887,"sku":"8437010194146","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/be0ef9701116ba265f042f78520a08f8.jpg?v=1777890424","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/gijon-stomp","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
