Jackie And The Cedrics - Back To The Hootenanny

Review by Dave Clarke

Jackie and The Cedrics' album "Back To The Hootenanny" is a fun and energetic collection of surf rock tunes. The band's guitar work is particularly impressive, with plenty of twangy riffs and nimble solos. The rhythm section keeps things moving at a brisk pace, giving the songs a lively feel that's perfect for dancing or just enjoying some good old-fashioned rock and roll. The vocals are often delivered with a playful, almost tongue-in-cheek attitude that adds to the album's overall charm. Standout tracks include the rollicking opener "Hootenanny Stomp," the catchy "Surf Party," and the moody instrumental "Jackie's Mood." "Back To The Hootenanny" is a great choice for anyone looking for some upbeat, retro-inspired rock and roll.
