Sounds Like
An alien plot gone awry to splice & combine the DNA from Bo Diddley, Link Wray & Duane Eddy.
From Nashville, Chicago and Los Angeles, Jay Hardtke rounded up a talented bunch of wild, fun loving musicians and invaded Pete Curry’s now legendary Powow Fun Room Studios in Culver City. The resulting mayhem is an exciting and fun cross section of spirited rock and roll. A romping collection of original compositions, with the exception of Al Casey’s classic Surfin’ Hootenanny, you’re gonna’ love Pradabilly. In Glorious Monaural.

Jay! I got the CD yesterday, and while I was feeling pretty miserable (stomach trouble, ouch!), it managed to put a HUGE smile on my face!!!! Serious good-time party music, fantastic vibe to it!
And you're getting guitar tones that are finger-lickin' good and SO damn authentic. (I know, I hate the "a-word" too, but..)
I got something VERY groovy in the post yesterday..........!
THANK YOU!!! And in time for my birthday too ;)
I'm in a rush at the moment, got a myspazz mate over and we're off to the Blue Mountains, but will write proper as soon as I can.... will be playing some Pradabilly on the long drive! You're a "Ledge", as we say down here (it means Legend!)
Hey Jay!Thanks so much!!!!It's my first day off for the summer holiday and all we got here is pouring rain..but when I ran outside the mailbox there was such a nice suprise!!!!Love the cd ,finally a summer feeling too!XXX
