We start this CD with an old time favourite of Carl Perkins, "Blue Suede Shoes". The leaflet that comes with the CD says: 'Obviously a Killer'... I have nothing to argue with that statement. "Is It Love" is a self penned rockin' ballad about an unfullfilled love, well, I love this one for sure! Bassplayer Bernd Tesch' "Rockabilly Mama", is an original written for the EP 'Rockabilly Showdown' from 1998, great song. Over to a cover from the Delmore Brothers: "Blues Stay Away From Me" This is a well known song, a bit weak played if I may say so. The saxophone in this song is of great quality! Original written for the late Elvis Presley, but first released by Little Richard is "Rip It Up", The White Lines can now stand with all the other great Rockers who recorded this song, perfect!

For all the Bluegrass and Hillbilly lovers a traditional song is next on the menu: "Wild Side Of Life". Another great song by Bernd: "Rock 'n' Roll Is Back". Yeah, I agree!! Ever heard of Crazy Cavan? Well listen to "Train Of Love", this early 80's song is again perfectly played, I'm sure Cavan Grogan likes it too. You give Bernd Tesch a pen and he writes really great songs, this time a balad about a lost love: "Had A Little Baby". Next they throw in a Johnny Cash song from 1956 "Rock 'n' Roll Ruby" nice, but it could be a little rougher in my opinion. "One Too Many Mornings" by Bob Dylan, Hillbilly, don't like it too much... Originally sung by Charly Feathers in 1956, The White Lines deliver a good cover with "Tongue Tied Jill". "Tutti Frutti" by Little Richard Penniman is next on this CD, followed by "Mystery Train". Written by Junior Parker as a blues song, and made a real Rockabilly tune by Elvis, Scotty and Bill, now played real well by The White Lines.

Number fifteen and the last one on this album: "So Long Baby Goodbye" by Dave Alvin and sung by Shakin'Stevens in 1985 is a great song, but there aren't too many bands who play this with the right stance, this one also stays a little behind. You see, twenty years of Rockin' by these gentlemen has come to a good, if not really good album. I had fun listening to it!
