notes

Crash Justice got his first taste of performing rockabilly in front of a live audience back in 1979 with his first professional band the"Status Seekers".The Status Seekers were a mix of garage punk and rockabilly.Sort of like Robert Gordon meets the Sonics.The Status Seekers were very popular in the OC/LA area and built a strong following playing just about every punk/roots venue available to them at that time.Now comes the summer of 1981 and Crash under the guise of Kenny J hooks up with a couple of wild young teds by the names of Steve Olson and Johnny Rockin and the "Rockaholics"are born and they take off like bats out of hell getting rave revues about thier live performances and Crashs wild stage antics from fans, magazines,newspapers and radio alike.All though the lineup changed thru out the years,Crash remained the irrepressible front man and the Rockaholics continued tearing up venues from coast to coast.They signed with"American Standard Records" and recorded a rockin EP called"Caifornia Billy"and continued tourin thru out the 80s.In the late 90s Crash Justice returned to the stage performing his wild form of rockabilly,which he continues to do today.Now its 2006 and Golly Gee Records has just released Crash Justices' brand new cd"Life in a Bottle" backed by his son Rory Justice(a star in his own right)and some of the hottest talent on the scene today.Thirteen smokin tracks dealing with life and life on the edge madness.GREAT STUFF!

    You gotta get you some of this. Real gone rockin' from a real gone kat. Crash kicks ass. Crank it up...

  • Straight ahead and no fooling around
    author: Carl M. Nielsen

    This is pure rockabilly! - very specific, straight and stylistic, directly in the tradition of The Burnette Trio blended with some influences from the Sun artists, especially Johnny Cash, but more discreate also Perkins and Presley. A well balanced combination of own songs and covers. For the latter part very convincing. Really shining in Hal Harris' classic "Jitterbop Baby", maby not better than the original, but just as good. But there are some good originals too. Check out "Midnight Stalker" or "Loving Thang". Great songs! More important than the source of the material is the honesty of this album. It is not trying to be anything else than it is. It's rockabilly, straight ahead rockabilly, not trying to fool anyone, not getting in to smart ass show offs. No shit. Just playing good, honest music. No more - no less.

  • Great Stuff! A must have for any rockabilly fan.

    While the content is not groundbreaking, it is a very solid work that any band would be proud to call it's baby. The production is excellent resulting in a very polished work that still manages to keep its raw edge. Crash's unique vocal style really shines on track 3 "I'm Dreaming Of You" resulting in a new favorite for me. Several tracks (Bedrock, Thanks Alot, Midnight Stalker) are humorous and fun and are bound to stick in your head. I love all the versions of "I Don't Wanna Grow Up" (Tom Waits, The Ramones) and Crash does this timeless classic "Justice" as well. I highly recommend this CD.
