The Four Dots / Goin' Back To Memphis SRCD 13 ----------------------------------------------
Hot rockin' late ‘50s Rock'n'Roll with a hint of a surf and garage rock edge - that's The Four Dots from Spain. Sizzling guitar, drivin' rhythm, pumpin' sounds - beware, they might rock you into a trance! Singer and lead guitarist Hector Guerrero used to head the more traditional Rockabilly oriented Little Boy Arnold & His Western Okies but here his new band progressed to a late 50s, very early 60s sound, fast and furious Rockabilly, Rock'n'Roll with scorching hot lead guitar. Nine of the thirteen songs are written by the talented Guerrero, including the instrumentals "Messin' Around" and "Strollin' In Chinatown" (two cool strolls), the fast boogie "Four Dots Boogie" with a slap bass solo, the powerful "Twisted Guitar" (Duane Eddy meets Link Wray) and the toe-tappin' "PIckin' & Slidin'". The Four Dots' "King Bee" version sounds like the Cramps could have done it early in their career. Their stompin', rockin', strollin' songs include the sparse but strong blues bopper "Hey Little Girl", cool stuff with an edge, think 50s rockers like Benny Joy whose "Gotta Get Some Money" they revive here. The Four Dots close their breathtanking set with Hank Mizzell's powerful "Ubangi Stomp". Fine raw rockin' late 50s style Rock'n'Roll and Surf/Instro rockers. sleazyrecords.com. -GMB, BLUE SUEDE NEWS Magazine
