YUICHI AND THE HILLTONE BOYS
Yuichi & the Hilltone Boys are from a very special place... Osaka, Tennessee. The Japanese city meets and greets the great state of Tennessee making rockabilly bop their own hometown sound. While you won't be able to find this location on a map, you will easily hear the wild west and the hilltop hollers in this modern rockin' outfit.
A bit of country croonin', a touch of blue ballads with righteous rockabilly have been combined to create a marvellous set of songs. Just three pieces are able to make up this band of terrific players.
Yuichi on vocals and rhythm guitar has a sweet sure sound that has enough sorrow to remind you of early Sun sounds. Kenji, who has mastered lead guitar in a style that many will envy, gives this band its twang that is a treat. He is able to swing the steel that will have you thinking about west Texas honky tonks. Osamu rounds up the line up with bass playing that is truly tops. He keeps the beat boppin', the trail blazing and slaps the stand up so you know he means business.
Yuichi & The Hilltone Boys may be from a place not yet mapped, but they will be pride of place on your player. They are Japanese in nationality while being universal in their songs of love, loss and dancing all night long. The three talented are a top trio travelling town to town to take you to treatsville. Yuichi & The Hilltone Boys are not to be missed and with this recording you won't be without them wherever you happen to be.

Nice...
author: Shaun VejarI think we might be ready for a Japanese Elvis, or perhaps an Asian country crooner....Pretty good overall, a potpourri of styles and not overproduced. I still have to give some of the tracks more of an attentive ear, but some good ones jump out at ya right away. This little three piece from Osaka would be fun to watch while knocking back some cold ones.
