   About Bull Halsey

"One listen to Bull Halsey throws the rock-n-roll mind into reverse, to a time when young British kids like The Yardbirds, The Animals, and John Mayall's Bluesbreakers were teaching other Brits (and Americans) how much the Delta blues had an impact on rock music. This isn't today's disposable garage-rock re-hash, this is a textbook from Music Appreciation, and class is in session."

- Matt Mertha, The Red Butlers

"...next song up is another hold over request from last week, called the Guv'ness. A man calls after the song ends. He wants me to play it again. I say will do. He says now. I say next week. He huffs and asks, "would you call it Rockabilly, Blues, or Rockabilly-Blues?" And as I wondered what button to push next he said, "It's just real music and that's why you should play it now."

Shout for joy onto Jah, all the earth,
burst into jubilant song with music;
make music onto JAH with the harp,
with the harp and the sound of singing,
with trumpets and the blast of the ram's horn--
shout for joy before the Lord Of Lords, King Of Kings!

Bull Halsey,
Nice and slick already. Tight!
Thanks for inviting us aboard. Always remember the late, great Fred "Sonic" Smith who helped put Detroit rock on the map. The Hellacopters dug our tunes enough to cover it and bring our music out of the dust so others could discover it as well.
Our 6 CD boxset is out, get it direct from www.easyaction.co.uk
Authentic SRB merch available here only. If interested check back here with us for details how to order. Mention this email and get $5 off our long sleeved t's and hoodies.
